the only thing i can think of is in my auto ive noticed if u just flat out floor it mine seems to bog a little and is slower than if u dont just straight put it down but more so "ease into it aggressivly" if that makes ne scence?

All I can say is you should of been faster than that. Another thing, just because it's an auto doesn't mean it can't be launched. There is some type of weird *** loop hole in the autos set up where if you do a D-2-D shift set you'll gain a huge power boost off the line, so the way you launch will deffinitly effect your times. Another thing, the 24lb injectors shouldn't make much of a difference as long as the car was tuned. Last time I checked you only use the full amount of fuel from an injector when you hit a certain RPM, in other words 19lbers are good to roughly 280hp, 24lbs 350-375 hp, 30lbs 425-450, etc, but when in normal driving a 42lb injector shouldn't use anymore than a stock injector because you're still taking in the same amount of air as you used to, but that's just the way I've understood it, if it's wrong please let me know.
Also my sn-95 5.0L did pretty damn well on my last trip to the dyno, so the BS that they don't like mods is just that, BS, they're the same freeking engine as the older models except for the intake setup. Now maybe the foxs respond a hair bit better but I don't forsee it being anything drastic. Just my 2 cents though.

hmm i did the 24 cus i thought one of my injectors was bad... but that was my screw up.. it still ran like crap with them in.. i really can't decide if i should rebuild it or get a newer car...[:@]

RE: guess mods don't make your car faster..
Hmm...........mine never has that problem, it does, at times, have a "HARD START" like it will start up and strain to stay running, but if I rev it up really fast it runs fine, personally I think that's a fuel pump problem, which I'm about to fix. Hmm, since my car did so well with my mods, I wonder if one of the previous owners, perhapse the one that did the 331 stroker, put in an older foxbody ecu. I took it out to install the tweecer, but didn't pay much attention to it.

RE: guess mods don't make your car faster..
Oh, before somebody catches it, I had a typo, the D-2-D driving doesn't really improve off the line times, although it does help with 1rst-2nd gear, it tightens up the firmness of the shifts. In other words before you hit your shift point, like a second or two before, you downshift from D-2, then when it's time to shift, you go back from 2-D, you'll have to perfect it, but from what I've heard, it can make a world of difference.

a taller tire is like having numericly higher gears, fewer revolutions to cover the same distance
it usually comes into play when you are running out of gear, as people go from a 28 inch tall to a 26 for example
in this case though, using a taller tire would be like putting gears in, but probably to a smaller degree

Sorry but that is backwards, think about it thise way, your going to be able to have more revolutions with a 26 rather than 28 because its shorter right? Tires turning faster would mean you would be turning more RPMs, get it?

But I think what he's talking about with the 28 and the 26... it would be like having a bicycle with a 30" wheel and a bike with a 15" wheel. Once you get them rolling at the same speed the one with the 30" will go 2x farther. And with the 15" you would have to pedal harder to keep up, but the 30" will be hard to pedal the whole time. It's just one of those win-lose situations.
I think I just confused myself. [&:]
