Frustration
I bought a 91 lx in October and have enjoyed every second that I've been in it. I'm learning more and more about mods and gains and I am frustrated with my low horsepower. I dyno'd at 197rwhp and then 202rwhp after upping the timing. Here are my mods:
Edelbrock Performer Heads, Edelbrock Performer Intake, Motorsport E Cam, 24lb injectors, 70mm BBK/Edelbrock throttlebody, 190 fuel pump, BBK Fuel Regulator, MSD Ignition Coil, K&N Filter, Ram Air, ASP Pulleys, B&M 2800 Stall Converter, Flowtech Headers, Off Road H-Pipes, Flowmasters, rebuilt AOD tranny with B&M ratchet shifter, 3.73 gears, replaced bearings, Cobra wheels with Fuzion ZRi 255/40R17 tires, and the MAF is a 75mm GMS calibrated for 24lb injectors.
Shouldn't I be putting down close to 300 to the wheels? Does anybody have any suggestions? Don't get me wrong, I love the car and it is awesome to drive. I just want it to reach it's full potential.

RE: Frustration
check over the whole job .
your timing I bet is at 6 degrees
, and TPS voltage at idle should be .99
the ground wire for the 0'2 are on the firewall, check that.
make sure they didnt leave a 0'2 loose or messed up.
if all checks ok, the valve lash is more than likely out of adjustment, or the cam may not of been installed straight up etc
I dont like mechanics installing high performance parts, Ive seen pros that are performance minded, make some very very very dumb mistakes.
PRIME EXAMPLE !-
MASTER TECH at work that thinks he is the #!@# put on a TFS kit, with 1.7;s a big cam and intake on a stock 302! and thought he had an 11 second car, even installed a roll cage. the car was a slug and id say 15 second one! he overwhelmed the little 302 and still couldnt figure out what he did wrong with all the other techs and 2 master techs looking over the car.
After he found out, you guys helped me whit my setup on this forum, he told me i was very dumb from taking your advice and was against this forum. He really hates young techs and young guys.
I told him he had way to much dam airflow and what he did wrong, he cursed me out, and I dam near knocked him out[:@], when he finds out the truth at the performance shop its at, he has nothing more to say to me.
