test drove a car today a 95 gt stock 5 speed

I'm betting it's just the auto vs manual bit. Get an AODE with really tall gears (do they come with 2.73's even?) and a 5-speed with the optional 3.08's, and the 5-speed is going to seem much faster. I drove a 93 GT waaaaaay back, when it was only a two-year old car, and it had an auto -- couldn't even break the tires loose from a dead stop . On a fox no less...

Sounds like you have a good start on tuning it....Does it run better??? The 5spd is gonna be quicker than an auto....plus the state of tune matters too.

have you checked your timing yet??? she could be off some...that hurts right there....

Pull your PCV valve and replace it, its cheap money....clean the mesh thats under the pcv valve...you just remove the rubber grommet the pcv goes in and there it sits...pull it out and clean it up...she may be gunked up with oil.

not sure "wrenchwise" how you are but this is a good link to clean and adjust some stuff that matters in GTs... some of that doggy feeling can be found right in these 5 steps...its good for peace of mind and gets you right into knowing your car....This is all wrenching 101 stuff...

Mass airflow sensor. My recommendation for cleaning it -- one can of brake cleaner, liberally applied. Clean the inside of the housing, as well as the sensor element itself (you'll know what it is once you're looking at it).

the MAF is on the left side middle north of airbox(between 2 plastic intake tubes) it has a wire pluged in that says ABCD,
