![]() I have an extremely heavy 95GT convertible with these mods:
Edelbrocker Performer intake AFR 165 heads 1.6 RR's FTI custom cam 75mm MAF 65mm T-body 15/8" shorty headers offroad X pipe 2.5" SS flow tubes dynomax welded race magnums stock tail pipes pulleys 24lb injectors 190lph pump adjustable FPR HD clutch 4.10 gears subframe connectors 4 point hooker car bar subframe connectors Nitto DR's Stock the car went 15.2 at 90mph. With a few bolt ons like pulleys, gears, and exhaust I went 14.6 at 94.8mph. With the intake, T-body, headers, and nitto's it went 13.8 at 98mph. I just added the heads, cam, and fuel upgrades with the hope or trapping 105mph. With my weight, it would take roughly 350FWHP to achieve this. Well tonight, on my third time out with the car, I did it. Here's my run: R/T: .549 60': 1.950 330': 5.576 1/8th: 8.563 mph: 82.47 1000: 11.127 1/4: 13.273 mph: 105.09 I was in disbelief when I got my timeslip, but I made two passes tonight, the other resulted in a 13.37 at 105.17mph with a 1.99 60'. I'm really impressed with my car, especially since it is a 95 with the screwed up computer that pulls tons and tons of timing between shifts, and its a heavy convertible. JFYI- to put into perspective the differences between a coupe and convertible, my cousin has a 94GT, stock it went 14.8 at 93mph, so that tells you how much of a disadvantage the convert's weight is! Is there anything else besides a chip that I can do to get a little more? With 38lbs of fuel pressure, I got a lean code and it runs really warm, so when I got to the track I upped the fuel to 41lbs, and shifted at 6000rpms. Last week with shift points of 5500 and 38lbs of fuel I ran a 13.5 at 104.4mph, so it evidently liked the fuel. Anyone else think this is pretty impressive for a stock bottom end 302? Thanks for you opinions.
