Thanks for the pic. I figured it would go into regen when you take the foot off the gas, but it seems like the energy you can recover is very hampered by the compression braking. I'm thinking of my civic, it probably helps more in the heavier buick. I think the variable valve timing could be used to help with your car as well to relieve some of the compression. Does your display say what the regen power is?
