Hmm, I've never ran my car, but I'm willing to bet that it's good for high 17's/low 18's. Like said before, car is awesome in first gear, nice kick of the line, but after that it's crap.

Run #4 is right after I installed the MSD 6AL box and Blaster coil, and right before I put my cleaned injectors in. The times in blue beat runs #2 and #3.

Run #5-7 are after I put in the injectors that Rich at Cruizin' Performance cleaned. The times in red show the results of the new injectors. I actually wrote down the weight of the car this time! It was 3370 pounds!

The last run shows the use of the Torque Convertor Lockup switch! Check out all the numbers in orange- they beat the heck out of the red #'s!

Had to dig up what all those colored numbers meant... I completely forgot; it's been a while. LOL! https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...threadid=60366

my 60 foot times were terrible, 2.55 was the best i do belive... but that becase my car lags so bad between 0 and aobut 25~30 mph, then it kicks it... why does it lag so bad, almost like its in a higher gear and is catching up with itself?

LOL; I ran a 16.87 back in '96. I'd rather I was "damn close" to the original 16.87 mark.

MSD box & coil are bolt-in's, hardest part is finding a cool spot for them.

Ovrclck350, is that 9.85 on your V8? my car has gone 9.85 in the 1/8th on a V6. it has a fully built 3.1 and everything else is stock. best 60' is a 2.19 on street tires and stock suspension and best mph was 73.2. i have not had a chance to run the 1/4 mile yet, about an hour drive to that track.

Unfortunately, yes. With the 2.73 rear, that car has NO low end whatsover. Those 60's aren't spinning

I have a 3.42 disc rear on the way, I just have to find time to finish getting it ready (my friend's giving it to me minus rotors/calipers) and install it. On the top end, the car really pulls. If I could just get the low end better...it'd be a nice little car.
