every tech i talk to that i work with says the tires barking has to do with how quickly the clutch re-engages. i've been adjusting my clutch every couple of days to mess around with it until i feel comfortable enough with it. any thoughts on why I would feel like the motor loses power when i shift quick, maybe the rpms weren't high enough to maintain powerband??

of course i want traction but not because there's a lack of power. this **** is pissing me off. i drove some guys stock 88gt with a mass air conversion the other day after an alignment and instant bark and insanely better throttle response. wtf...

if you're actually willing to provide a viable opinion it would be appreciated man. guys on this form say i should be making about 250rwhp, plenty to bark tires into 2nd gear

could my cure all just be lack of gears???
those make 5.0s run ****ty.

also how is the EGR system deleted?

NGK are amazing spark plugs. Just mostly for Japanese cars though...

As for barking the tires...I have no troubles with it and I'm near stock with 275s out back...

no, it's a speed density car...no tuning available right?? i thought all a tuner can do is play with fuel pressure and diff size injectors until the a/f ratio comes out good...

oddly enough, thats what some tuners think too..

COnvert the car to maf, and get a dyno tune. You'll be amazed at how much power you will find.
