With some mods such as a test pipe/ K&N filter CAI/ Flowmaster muffler/ custom tune and a manual boost control (was running 20 lbs.) had the car running a best of 12.18 @ 115 mph on street Gatorback S compound tires. All this was in 1990 and I can just imagine IF they had kept up the development of this engine what it might have become. It was putting out almost 450 hp and yet idled like a normal 6 cylinder and was getting 27 mpg. Man, do I miss that car, but had to sell it in 1991 due to business slowdown.
