When i floor it real fast, my car doesn't sem to respond well, also high-rpm launches don't work too well, almost stalls most of the time.....is it maybe time to get my injectors cleaned? i had a taurus SHO kick my *** last night, cuz i floored it and it seemed that nothing was happening....

take the intake apart and send the injectors to rce to be cleaned, and while it's apart clean everything up and do the tb mod, make sure everything's correct and operating smoothly..... this includes the 5th and 6th ports/actuators.

I would wire those things open. You'll just loose low end. you'll just have to down shift more often. How are your cats. If they're clogged, they rob you of sooooo much power.

he has a good point, cats should definately be checked.



but i'm not with him on the wiring open aux ports, if you think your car is unresponsive now, with aux ports wired open, under 4k it will be like a dead horse.

yeah under 4k it will be slow. My friends 86 base isn't but it's got a 9 lb flywheel, and some other mods.

if you have big assed exhaust leaks you might not have enough back pressure to drive the aux port actuators, which will make your top end suck.
