Re: Throttle Response

When you step on the pedal, does it stumble or hesitate before getting up and go, or is it just steady "vrrrrrrrrrrr" and then ?VVVVVVRRRRMMM"?

Re: Throttle Response

Re: Throttle Response

That's a confusing situation. I have no idea what kind of system you have. If you had a TPI, I could of directed you in a better direction. Sorry man.

How hot is the car?? Like 220 degrees or so?

Keep in mind its only a 140hp car and the throttle responce isnt great when you just mash the gas all the way. Video tape it and I can see if its about the same as mine was when my car was stock.

Id go video tape mine and show you what mines like, but I totally fried my stock fuel pump the other day...opps I guess that happends with 30lbs injectors and a tired fuel pump.

Re: Throttle Response

Keep an eye on the brake lines when you drop the axle.

Re: Throttle Response

You don't actually have to drop the axle to get the fuel pump, it is tricky, but you can do it by just lowering the exhaust.
