i got a 90 vert/auto and this thing takes forever to move sometimes i feel like i can run faster than it takes off .this is a list of thing i have done today:

- Change oil and filter.
- Change spark plugs
- Clean fuel injecotrs with fuel system treatment
- Clean throttle body
- TPS adjustments.
- Fuel Filter
- Air Filter
- Tranny fluid and filter
- radaitor fluid


for some reason none of these thing seem to help much there is a slight diff but not realy noticable.... is there anything else i can do to help get some power outta this thing.the 5 and 6 ports r working, i checked the computer and no codes i had a compression test done about 2 r 3 months ago 90psi all the way around. i use only the highest octane i can find.
what am i missing?????? r is a auto vert realy this slow?? ( i am comparing it to a 87 n/a 5-speed since that was my last car and trust me my old car can do donuts around this one with out breaking a swet)

 

You do have the slowest FC ever built over any year

 

Yes.

When mine was an NA car, I had a bad trailing coil that caused it to be much slower than even an Auto NA vert should be.

 

put 87 octane in.. it'll probably be faster.

90psi is starting to get on the low side as well.

 

LoL...your one to talk

I get beat off the line by EVERYTHING.

I start out like any normal manual driven car. around 1000-1500 at full clutch engage, and it takes forever to get any acceleration out of it, but once you hit that sweet spot you sink into your seat and pass that bugger that passed you on the line. LoL.

I am going to make this clutch last 2 years if it is that last thing I do!!!

 

~3200 lb vert + 140ft lbs torque + slushbox tranny = DOG

 

My five speed 'vert lacks ***** too. But I can still drive it fast, just not in a straight line.

 

well yeah once its once i finaly hit 25 - 30 its starts to pick up speed and goes up to about 120 - 130mph and then thats it no faster
hopefully when i get my 5-speed conversion it will go a little quicker
