Subject: Took the 92 for a ride last night by rklessdriver on 2009/7/20 19:59:07 I have been taking the car out during the weekends at night just to put easy miles on the motor with lots of acceleration/deceleration in 5th and 6th gear to make sure everything is A-OK when I bring it to him. I've got about 200 miles on it so far. I did have the oportunity to get on it a little last night. WOT from a 5mph roll (in 1st gear) thru middle of 3rd gear keeping the revs down to about 5500-6000RPM on the shift. First - if your considering MT ET Street radials, you should buy them. If I just roll on the throttle easy like the car just hooks and pins you in the seat. I don't know how they will hold up to a standing start yet. Second - My snubber bar is acting as a lift bar. The car lifts quite violently under WOT acceleration. It also tracks strait and true. Before it always wanted to turn right under acceleration so the ZF-Doc beam plates are helping as well. Third - The motor feels very strong. Pulls like a freight train once you get it past the 2500RPM part throttle timing stumble. Despite backing the camshaft intake centerline up 2* and porting the crap out of the intake monifold it dosen't seem to have lost ANY bottom end TQ. Seat of the pants is all subjective but throttle response is as good as it ever was IMO. I'm very pleased so far. Bumping the compresssion up to 11.6 SCR was probally the best thing I could have ever done to this thing. Seems to have totally negated the loss of bottom end power I was kinda worried about. Hopefully the other stuff (ported intake/retarded camshaft) will pick the top end power up like it should. We will all know once Ed gives me a Dyno appointment. Will |
