I have an '89 Saleen 5spd, around 107k on the clock. It had a few performance parts on it when i bought it, such as; full Mac exhaust, headers, cold air intake, E303 cam, 95 GT front brakes. weld in subframe braces, K-member braces, and a rear strut tower brace. The car runs well aside from an issue with cold starts ( acts like a carburated car, have to hold the throttle for 5-10 seconds before it'll idle on its own) I did a tuneup on it, new bosch plugs, MSD wires, stock cap and rotor, and added an MSD coil. Also i bought a set of Toyo T1R tires, which i'm pretty happy with handling wise.
So i take it down to the local racetrack and the best i can squeeze out of it is a 15.5.... is it just me or does this seem a bit slow? i'm new to the mustangs so i'm not sure of anything to look for that could be robbing power. it still has all the smog stuff other than the cat's. But i talked to a local guy who has a supercharged fox in the 10's and he suggested i should check the computer. The tag on the car says it should have an A9L but i've yet to pull the computer down to check it. Is there anything else i should check? i haven't checked the timing, because the car seems to run quite well. Any tuning tips?
