i got a 89 iroc. 305 tpi. i currently have a hedmen headers, accel 8.8mm wires, hypertech chip (stage 2), open box, free mods, accel coils, flowmaster exhaust, tornado, air fowl with stock throttle body, b&m shifter, monster tach, posi, stock gears, modified mass air flow sensor. i was running 15's in hawaii. i was told that with these mods it suppose to be quicker. so what do you guys think with these mods? should i be in the 14's since we adjusted my cars timing. it was on 28 degrease. it was real off. so we adjusted it to 7 degrease. should my time be better now?

Is that 28 degrees base timing? If so that would cause some power loss. Base timing should be about what you set it at, on a stock motor. More modified motors may need more base timing though...

tornado... gone
hypercrap chip... gone
timing... go to 10*.. thats about as far as that hypercrap is taking you... cant go much farther then that with out the ecu correcting you and setting it back. I need to find someone with an advanced timing light so i can start playing around.

Rich and reasonable untill 2000rpm when it gets a lot louder, which can definetly make a reasonable point before burning a mooshtang (Closed cutouts)

Unbelievable and undescibably loud but still low piched and not at all scratchy. MMMMMMM, it gives me the chills even thinking about it. Un fortionately the cops arent happy about it. (open dual cutouts)


*Does any one know exaust volume laws or where i can get them for Illinois, the chicago land area, specificaly Deerfield where i live and dirve the most.

Still working on what I want to do for the tip(s).

I used to have the 2.5" pipe w/out the cat and a crossflow
flowmaster, but my motor didn't like the restrictiveness of the
flowmaster. The car run's 100 times better now running just
the cat and no muffler... not to mention it sounds great!

Mike...just to let you know, it wasnt the Flowmaster that was restrictive on your car, it was the kinked up stock 2 1/4" pipe you were running. Of course its gonna run better with 3" all the way out. By the way...you gotta hear your old muffler on my 84. Sounds great. Might have woke it up a little bit too. See ya at the Pavs.

Joe... Just to let you know, I wasn't running 2 1/4" pipe. I had
2 1/2" piping throughout the entire set up. Besides, running
the 3" cat with the new piping sounds a lot better than that
cross flowmaster. *L* Too bad there's no room for a 40 series.
I'm glad you like my old muffler... I might be getting a dynomax
bullet put on...or I'm going to finish off the tip(s).

2 1/4, 2 1/2...who cares. Was still choking it. Hell, the stock exhaust on my 84 is choking it. And my L69 exhaust is a lot better than your old LG4 exhaust. What I wouldnt give to have my old Edelbrock headers and SLP catback back in my possesion. Im glad youre happy with your new exhaust, but if I were you, id be putting a muffler on that thing. BTW, you sure youre gonna use those headers? Ill be more than happy to take them off your hands. Gimme a call. Later man.

thats kinda neat, but why wouldn't you just build a double hump cross member to do that instead of cutting up your frame rails?

There are a couple reasons I could see for him. First he has the spohn crossmember and torque arm. You have it easy because you have the lift bars. Also, he has an auto, and there isnt really much room to run the exhaust beside the auto's or make a double hump crossmember. I just swapped to a t-56 and had a custom crossmember made to clear my duals and it worked out pretty good, but I dont think it would have done any good with the auto.
