Hey, shouldn't you be posting over on TPH?

I guess I'm getting older and don't care to take the risks that I used to on the street. From a dead stop it just takes too much real estate for this car to get up to 3rd for me to risk a ticket or hurting someone. I save those runs for the track.

LOL!! Shouldn't you be posting on TPH!!! LOL!! :SNSign:

I actually just kinda started reading some posts on here. I come back every now and again.

Street racing in Houston is not what it used to be.

I was just trying to prove a point. It doesnt take much to get going that fast. I see bikes hauling ass all the time on 610 and beltway 8.

Street racing in Houston...no thanks.

I'll be back at HRP this friday doing some more testing, still looking for my 10.50.

Times look a bit slow to me, especially the mph. With 3.73s, CAI, and full exhaust I ran a 14.2 at 97 mph with my vert. I think you have some more in it so keep practicing.

they seem kind of on par with what i expected out of a vert. practice makes perfect. there's always stuff you can do to reduce some weight without really hurting you. you could always get a rear seat delete for at the track, remove the dog bone, the 25# weight in the fender... bunch of things to help lighten it up.

My 1994 Vert with 5 speed stock ran 15.1 @ 88 mph.

Gears 3:73's, cold air, h-pipe, cat back, I was 14.2 but at 96 mph.

So it seems that auto makes a bigger difference on the mph if anything.

Adam95GT · Mar 21, 2007

yea this seems a little bit slow... id figure a 14.3 at least... i just ran a 14.7 on my 213,000 mile vert with just a full exhaust and cold air.... and trapped at 93.14

well... I am looking to get it tuned. I think it isn't getting enough spark or something. The car takes a while to start unless its already warmed up. When I bought the car it had bad spark plugs so I got new plugs and wires. I dont remember what the gap was on them.

What RPM should I be shifting at??

I got the launch down good on this car, but I also noticed that my car traps low compared to others. I am going to remove some weight, but I need to find the problem first. I was shifting around 5k-5.1k on all of those runs. Should I shift earlier? I don't think I can get a better time out of it the way it sits now.

I was looking to get a bigger MAF because I think the bbk 70mm tb is only hurting me since I have stock manifold and stock MAF.

Also, I was running 89 octane. Should I run a higher octane?? My car smells like it is running rich. The previous owner had it tuned for his h/c/i setup. So I need to get it tuned again.

my egr is also deleted. I get 3 codes regarding the egr when I do the KOER test(obd1)

I was told this is hurting me, but I was also told it doesn't hurt performance.

The previous owner had the side of the TB sealed and the header capped. Do I have to buy something if I want to put the egr back??? here is a picture of how it is sealed.

Do you get a Check Engine Light? If not they pulled the bulb, or rigged the sensor.

You have to leave the sensor on a stock car, and push the plunger halfway down to get the CEL to go out.

My car ran better after removing the EGR. Mine was sticking.

I've had both the 94vert all the way torn down and a 1995 Cobra. let's hook up and let me take a look at your ride. I could show you a few things and see if everything is on the up and up.

Can't beat an offer like that.

sipynsyrup · Mar 21, 2007

alright I sent you a pm!

I was thinking about getting it dyno'd and get an a/f reading too, but that wont be for a few weeks (on a tight budget while in school). What rwhp should it be putting down. I was either going to go to Houston Performance, Strictly, or g-force.

Houston performance quoted $100 for 3 pulls and a/f ratio. They will also tell me everything that is off and should be checked(spark, a/f, ect)

For 5.0 stuff. Slater's is the man!! He got 23 rwhp just from timing and fuel on my 95 cobra.
