also considering its got muffler deletes, and l discovered its running a fidanza flywheel and a modified prom

Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezus

I was physically numbed by the difference.....l got out of the car after giving it some WOT feeling something l cant put into words

wouldnt have considered this job without the previous comments from you guys



Thanks

David

PS....now l have to work on something to keep the nose on the ground.....steering now feels way to light when l floor it....maybe too much squat

my red 90 also has secondary vac probs and driving it now clearly shows that the secondaries dont work......slowwwwwwwwwww

Can you tell us how much low end power you lost and how many times your car backfired and how badly it chugs in traffic.

Some like having the power key,for those that really don't care for it and don't wanna pay big dollar parts,this is the way to go.

seemingly l have gained in all areas.......low end was like a rocket.....and no chugging....and l never drive with power key off

why should it have have been as bad as you suggest if all the previous comments said l would never miss it

Just a little humor with a mix of sarcasm.
Was just trying to make a point for those out there who think it will loose and drive like crap.

Brad i have not checked the feul economy but i would think if the car holds 14.7 AFR at cruising speeds i don't see why MPG would change.

Thanks Brad i will surely give it my all for that 10 second pass.
I'm using a friends 4.10's i hope the extra shift won't hurt my ET.
I'm still getting used to the 4.10's i admit they suprised the heck out of me at BG, how fast it was going thru gears.
BG was the first time i ran the 4.10's.
Ran 11.1 @128 1.69 60ft it was 80+* and very humid.

Too bad I can't remove my secondary system, since California emissions are very strict. I probably wouldn't pass emissions test if I did this mod. Same with long tube headers, Californians can't have 'em.
