First gen first kill in awhile

Well i dont really do the whole racing thing, 1 theres not any tracks that are that close, 2 i dont like to do the street racing thing. Well heres the story.

Got out of work around 10:30 and get on the e-way, as im getting on a guy gets next to me in a chrysler, i think it was a sebring, not real sure. He pulls away, lets off, pulls away and does this 3 or 4 times and finally i just gun it past him. No big deal, dont think he even tried. Well im driving down the eway and he is next to me again, doing the same ****. I wait till im at a long straight away and there happened to be no cars in front or behind me on either side, and the fuzz buster hadnt went off, so i figured what the hell. Started at 80 mph in 3rd gear. Pulled a couple car lengths on him through 3rd and 4th. Hit 5th and stayed a good bit ahead of him until i topped out at 115 mph. Car wouldnt go any faster so i just held it there. After a few seconds he finally caught up and passed me. So if you assume the race had already ended i guess i won, if we say the race hadnt ended then i guess i lost. I was kinda upset i couldnt go past 115 though. I also expected more of a win over a car like that.

Heres my mods

13b Reman from Atkins with stage 2 streetport on intake and exhaust
rb header/presilencer
k&n filter
torque brace
strut tower bar
rb lowering springs
msd 6al ignition
act dual fric clutch and pp

My non-turbo Daily driver FC can do more than 130mph.

My TII can do 140+mph

Your first gen should definitely have more power than my DD - why do you top out at 115?

I have a pretty restrictive muffler on atm, had alot of problems with cops so i had to let it blow over for awhile. They had a nice habit of pulling me over every time and finally gave me a ticket. Anyways yea, at 120 she shakes a little (and by little i mean quite a bit) so i think i need to get new ball joints or something. As for intake, stock fuel injection aside from the k&n air filter. Not real sure ifg the 5th and 6th ports are opening either. Had some trouble with the backpressure pickup tube, thought i had it fixed but it still doesnt feel the same. Cant find a way to check if they work though, cause they only open under load. This is an 84 -SE btw.
