my question is why is does my 88 GT feel so much slower than the 89 GT I had when I have the same exact modifications done to my 88 that I had done to my 89 but I know for a fact that if I had my 89 right now it would smoke my 88 and my 88 has about 70k less miles than the 89 the only difference is mass air does that really make that much of a difference? heres the mods that I have done

werent the '87/'88 SD then they went to mass-air in '89 ?? therefore the '89 would be probably be faster wouldnt it......or do i have it bass ackwards ?

89 was the first full year of MAF. 88 had MAF in cali. but speed density is faster stock vs stock. they didnt switch cause of power they switched for the advancement of it. but funny is GM went to SD around that time when they came from MAF
