Could either of these been the reason<br />for my crappy times. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="confused.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>shade-tree</b> <br /><small>Member # 298</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,5,5,13,5,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> sounds like some serious tuning is in order. That combo should haul ass. Not like I should be talking though.<br /><br />I have a 2700-2800 lb. '93 coupe with TFS heads, a custom cam, and a performer RPM intake and all the usual bolt-ons. I couldn't get above 102-106 mph in the traps, when it should be good for 112-115 if not a little more.<br /><br />My problem was a bad plug wire, so my times were from running on 7 cylinders. Perhaps you have something as severe.<br /><br />Normally the first thing I'd do after a head swap would be a compression test to verfiy the valves are at least sealing properly (you didn't overtighten the rockers, in other words).<br /><br />sounds like a solid 12 second combo if not low 12's.<br /><br />what were your 60', 1/8 mph and 1/4 mph? If you're getting at least 105 mph in the traps, it may be about right, with a little room for improvement. <img border="0" alt="[worship]" title="" src="graemlins/worship.gif" /> <br /><br />edit: didn't see the custom chip. I'd pull it and see if things didn't improve. Not exactly uncommon for those things to cause more harm than good.<br /> <br /> <small>[ June 05, 2002, 01:06 PM: Message edited by: shade-tree ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>st5150</b> <br /><small>Member # 51</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,5,5,13,6,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Octane booster won't help with your combo.

I'm gonna try to go up to Sac on the 28th and run with and with out the chip and hopefully I can at least get some low 13s. <br /><br />I'm not sure about the 1/8 mile times but my best 1/4 for the day was at 89 with a 60' time of 2.1...I was pretty embarrassed. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
