Auto, GT, 50k. Mid 17s with exhaust, intake, underdrive pulley, s-afc. MID 17s. Good lord. Other people say they hit low 16s bone stock, what could be wrong with my car? Where do I start? I'm going to check the compression, plugs, and then wires. Oil is good, anyone else got suggestions?

I starting to have some problems with my car right now too. I started feeling a huge drop like 2 days ago. MY poor celi isnt picking up speed like it used to.

95 GT, 5spd, short shifter, intake, 2.25" piping, 154K miles

Today for example i know that when we have 2+ people in the car that they will make a big difference. BUT IT WAS JUST ME!!!! Thats how my car has been feeling the last couple of days. I double clutched to beat a red light (PROFESSIONAL DRIVER. KIDS DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME! biggrin.gif wink.gif lol) and it didnt pick up speed? Now what could be wrong with my car???
