Auto, GT, 50k. Mid 17s with exhaust, intake, underdrive pulley, s-afc. MID 17s. Good lord. Other people say they hit low 16s bone stock, what could be wrong with my car? Where do I start? I'm going to check the compression, plugs, and then wires. Oil is good, anyone else got suggestions?

change fuel filter pcv valve clean throttle body tighten throttle cable advance timing run higher octane check distributor cap rotor you shouldn't have any problems at 50k miles, but who knows. |
