cars running like crap though best in -800 DA was only a 1.85 13.29 @ 102 mph :( down 4 mph and probably 4 tenths or even more. :(

i think i have narrowed the problem down though to the cold start injector hanging open making the car run REAL rich. will reset the IAC and swap the cold start injector and the MAF hopefully tomorrow.

please refer to this post for more details.

Hay Mike why not try 2 deg retard and 1/4 tank of fuel, lower the back tires to 15 lbs and see what she does? stage shallow and that should give you good MPH.Take 5 gallons of gas with you .
Look's like it's waxed real good.;)

it's not the timing and i run drag radials on 18 psi with stock 1600 stall and 2.59 gears. the car does not spin at the track. i've been drag racing for 15+ years and trained by one of the best in the mid atlantic region ;) read my cardomain and scroll down to page 5 and you'll see what i mean :D it's definetly a fuel problem as the car is running REAL rich :(

Yeah, call me. We can throw a vacuum gauge on and see if there's another leak...

Got everything together but it won't start now :(.

Come on Mike, now that you are running slow I may come gunning for you in my C5. About 200 miles away?
