Don't forget about the guide-coat if you do a paint job.

It's body shop speak. I was making fun of those Gieco commercials. "I just saved a bunch of money on my paint job by switching to guide coat"

Thats great man. I knew exactly how you felt. Mine did the same damn thing. I think there is probably a vaccum leak somewhere. BUt it doesn't matter, because mech. secondaries is the way to go. I am very interested in you dyno sheet when you get them I have almost the same set up except I have an 86 13b.

I do have a couple 1/8 mile runs that are all around 9.7-9.6.. with the carb not tunned and a big water housing leak. SO hopefully those number will go down.

What do you think your 1/4 mile times would be and 0-60mph?

How much does your car weigh? Mine is 2000lbs.
