uhm thats about all you can do N/A.

without going nitrous, which i hope your only doing a 75 shot max or youll melt your piston heads. and a turbo swap which depending on your budget and if its your only car and blah blah blah will keep you from doing.

unless youre going turbo. this car is just a DD man. I dont expect mine to do 12 13 14 or even 17 in the 1/4. i just wanna get to work. buy your exhaust and some rims paint etc. make it look pretty and enjoy getting good gas mileage.

dont wanna be a buzz kill but yea had my ac on this weekend the thing was strugglin lol. as of right now yours is faster than mine and im content so you should be too. if not im sure someone else can help.

I got some 17 lb fuel injectors from a 93' grand prix 3.1l and a 5.0 fox body gt fuel pump and it's kicking @ss on the streets. Lol. I'm not even done yet. I'm getting new 225 60 15 tires, MSD coil packs, front and rear sway bars off a fox body mustang gt, polyurethane suspension bushings and mounts, flomasters 40 series muffler or a cherry bomb, strut brace, sub frame connectors, 96' Ranger exhaust header and more probably after all that. I will be putting NOS in it eventually.

by kicking ass you mean can run down honda's ? lol
but for real how much power do you think you achieved from the injectors and such ?.....cause i just finished my intake today and this thing has rediculous power for some reason ( rediculous for a 2.3 ), i almost died coming around a corner and giving it gas i want more power !

It kicks down way faster and lower in gear. I can move the car by the tap of my toe, not pushing halfway down on the pedal. I haven't taken it to a track to have it timed but i'll tell you this, Read my previous threads, I complained about a slow car. Now it's running primo. Still has more room for improvement and upgrades.
