guess what i run???

look at signature for mods. Guess horsepower and 1/4 mile times. Do you think there is anything else i should do performance wise. I will be swapping out stock shocks for some lakewoods or comp. engineering then thats it. anything else i should do before i run. BOLT on only. No cam, pistons, etc like that. ????

I think the 58 mm throttle body may be to much for your mild combo and I didn't see anywhere in your sig that you did any chip burning.I'm thinking mid 13's if you can hook.

Yes the more I think about it the more I think I was to generous in my guestimation. High 13's is probably more likely.

pull that piece of crap tornado out of there. that's not doing anything but slowing stuff down. don't believe all that crap on tv.

i'm gonna say no faster than high 13's. your probably putting close to 300hp at the crank

I don't see headers in your sig. I might have overlooked though, but I am saying HIGH 13s. Pull that Tornado junk out and you might run a 13.70. Headers would help a ton though. 58mm is too much for that setup IMO. What does it mean by Custom Intake?

id say 13.7 is a good estimate. btw you cant really put too big of a tb on a efi car, it might not make more power, but you wont lose any either. needs headers.

yeah, high 13's like 13.9's. no headers means alot of power gone. get some and you should see 13.7's.

i run 13.9's with L98 TPI untouched with headers/flowmasters, 2800stall and adjustable shocks on 2.77 gears.

REALLY THE TORNADO MAKING THA BIG OF A DEAL??? hahaha i will take it out and install back in when I hit dyno in april. I noticed a difference in throttle response in a 99 buick century big time. Just have to try it out. yeah I bought flo tech headers and Ypipe just waiting for mail to come in. They will be added on when it start getting warm. You say 58mm throttle body is to big for a mild set up??? i would think you cant really go wrong. Think I would gain more from a 52mm?? I can return it but throttle bores already ported to 58mm. Well, 58mm im sticking with unless someone convinces me other wise. I have done the TB bypass. First thing i did to the car. Where can i get a godd chip burnt for these mods. Im sticking to stock internals.

Oh and what i meant about custom intake, I torched out where the vapor canistor sits (that whole panel) and added a 3" pipe going down from srock intke elbow to underneath the car (filter located at the front right fog light hole. I will take pics when I get car up in the air again so you can see. have to replace a few more bushings. Let you guys see the GTA then. WHO COMES DOWN TO TRURO???? maybe meet up for a race hahahahaha show you whats around here
