How will this AT run?
I am waiting for Moroso to be back in business (currently underwater and without power) to test out the performance (or lack thereof) of my 93 AT FD. I will use the G-tech Pro tonight to get an idea but altough I find it reasonably accurate a time slip and a video will be more convincing. I am expecting (hoping) to run anywhere from 15.0 to 13.9. Stock they run 14.5s or so I've heard and that sounds about right. I will also weigh the car before I run. The car has the following mods:
3" mandrel bent stainless:
downpipe
mid staright-pipe
catback w. Magnaflow
air-pump removed
K&N cone filters (sucking mostly hot air)
Royal purple synthetic in rear and AT
all trailing T2 plugs
Bosch 02 sensor
I had boost control problems so I temporarily plugged the wastegate actuator outlet (to solenoid) and I am seeing no more than 7 psi except a creep to 10 psi right before redline. The car feels slower than stock on the primary and faster than stock above 4500 rpms. This left me curious what kind of performance I can muster out of this reliable setup... I know that 7 psi on automatic is garbage but the reduced weight from emissions equipment and the nasty secondary pull because of the exhaust makes it seem possible to achieve close to stock times. This may seem like the biggest waste of time ever but If I can run a low 14 with low boost and a full exhaust that I will be satisfied. So what will it be?

You're right that is good. I am running 7-9-7+creep to 10 pattern. My primary feels very lazy. The secondary feels very fast, and I am hitting fuel cut at the top of third gear. I can finish the 1/4 without getting that high and I feel like I can run 14.2 which is very respectable to me with this setup. Good job

Update: I ran 14.0 on the G-tech pro properly caliberated and not a very good run. I barely brakeboosted 2-3 psi, shifted manually and let off right before the end of the 1/4 mile due to a hidden driveway. I had a full tank of gas (filled up 2 minutes before run) the weather was 96-99 degrees, not too humid though and I had the spare tire and jack removed. I had a bunch of crap in the car though. I am not saying this to make my car look better, I don't consider 14.0 fast at all and I know my setup is garbage but I am VERY happy because now I know that can DEFINITELY run a 13 in the nightime with less gas and junk in the car and better driving and new plugs and wires.
