I'm new

I have 89 TA with 305 tpi and did all free mods, Cat-back and cold air induction. With about 6 bills, what should be my next performance mod. I think maybe runners or TB. What you guys think?

It sounded low to me too. But given 190hp stock at the motor, I'm not sure. What dyno was he on.....
Mustang dynos give you a "true" HP #'s, thats what I was on. Dynojet dynos will read almost 15% more HP.

Re: I'm new

Dalton, good to see that you showed up to this forum finally. Maybe you could bring that civic of yours or your firebird. I know that the civic is faster so let me know when you want to run it. I'll be waiting and you know what I will be bringing. Remember, rice will never beat american muscle! Oh yeah, don't waste your money on the TB, go for the exhaust and then intake. After that if you want to dig in, computer and then internal engine work. I know that you like to do bolt ons first but stop being a *****! LOL!

Re: I'm new

Civic is broken and that is why I'm running the bird. 18 lbs. of boost was too much. If you can, I'd like to race, bird to bird. Are you still up around cermak road somewhere. I'd like to see what you got and if I can beat you. As far as beating Tim's honda accord, I saw the post, so what, I went nose to nose with him on 290 all the way up to 70 and then pulled on him. Not a big accomplishment. As far as I know, you ain't running saturns anymore, so now that we moved up in the world, I say, let's race so I can shut you up. 305's can put more power down then the 350's if you know what you are doing. As far as me just doing bolt-ons, I'll show you what I am bring and it will make you wish you didn't say anything.

Re: I'm new

You talk alot for a person who is just on bolt ons and some free mods. It is a good start but the 45 cubes makes a huge difference in the performance and maybe we should race, why don't you crawl out from under the rock you are hiding under and let's run 'em. Quit acting like you run the streets cause the only thing that you're running is your mouth! Your car couldn't crawl it's way out a wet paper bag if I tore a hole in it! LOL! Anytime, any place, motor to motor and heads up. Tell everyone on the site when and where you want to meet and then we will video tape you chasing after my rear license plate!

Re: I'm new

If you want in, me and all4u are on for Friday nite. Be meeting up at oakbrook mall cause he such a female dog, he want to meet on his home turf. Wait till he gets smoked, then all the 350 guys will finally pipe down. I saw that there was a lot of discussion on which is better, 305 or 350. I say, they are the same. Wait till all4u gets murdered, his car will be my finest victim!
