i posted a tread not to long ago and got some helpful info but my car still isnt right i have a 92 coupe 306 lunati cam gt40 heads 373 gears underdrive pullys and a coupe of other mods( refer to 92 coupe terrible 1/4 mile times to see all the specs and tips i was givin). i just put a gt40 upper and lower intake on it but havent had a chance to run it again. i have a WOT laging problem aswell. i have checked the tps and fuel pump voltage and cleand the maf sensor. are there any other sensor that i could check that could cause this big of a problem?

Did you run codes?

Sounds like your not timed properly.

i dont have a check engine light on. and my timing is set at 14 degrees now a guy i was talkin to told me to take the sput conector out and set it at 30 degrees what would that do besids trick the computer.

Not all codes cause the check engine light to come on. What's to say your CEL bulb isn't burned out.

You're supposed to take the spout connecter out and then set the timing to 14 degrees. That guy is retarded and if you blindly advance your ignition that far you will start detonating and cause damage to your engine.

Just because the timing light shows 14 degrees doesn't mean it's right. If you installed the distributor one tooth off, you can be so far advanced or retarded that the timing light shows 14 degrees but in reality you could be way off.

yea i didnt do what that guy said that sounded pretty crazy. but i did take the sput connecter out to set the timin and then put it back in. but the car runns good it doesnt idle funny or jump around while im drivin. i had a 91 5.0 lx i had some timing issues with so iv playes with timing a bunch and iv seen what it does when it is advanced to far or retated to far. the car feels like it pulls hard i just dont understand the 16.3 part thats the fastest time ive had out of 8 different runs.iv woundered if im spinnin really bad because i belive the clutches in the rearend arw worn out because it will only spin the right tire know matter what i do. could that be a problem? but it dot feel like its spinnin.

what were your 60 ft times???

Tony71502

Worn out rear could definitely kill your times by spinning one tire and getting traction with only one tire...

But who knows, if you fix that and are only getting high 14s then you do have engine issues. Stock cars should do low to mid 14s.
