Went to the local track tonight had three runs. First time leaving from idle ran a 15.0 at 93. Second time up (i had acl surgery last week so can’t left foot brake it) I right foot braked it with my crutch on the gas pedal, left at 0psi and pulled a 2.3 short time and a 14.8 at 92. Third time I had a friend take the wheel (ala two good legs) to break boost some more. 2psi launch brought a 2.2 short time and a 14.53 at 93. Mods are: stock dp, side dump autozone 3in intake new vacuum lines 86-86 ecu with stock 87 chip AEM progessive methanol on a M5 nozzle. Meh I was enjoying it. ---

Sure it’s as simple as a shot of nitrous to help boost that alky system! lol No it’s pretty involved to intercool a HA T-type, but I don’t have one so I dunno. Great times BoostedYards86 ---

to intercool a hot air u throw on a front mount and route some piping… to do it right means getting 86-87 parts including: passenger side header, intake manifold, throttle body, ac, alternator, serpentine system, going to electric fans, tb, coil pack, etc etc etc. ---
