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?

Unless you have a tranny that sounds like it's gonna DIE. I do it all the time to slow down without jerking around and to make it easier on the transmission. Oh well, it's not my cool racer technique of the week tho  - aba |
