I've noticed a lot of you have adjustable fuel pressure regulator on your stock engines w/ bolt-ons. Why?
 
I have found you can tune the car at the track with a slight change in the FPR.
 
My 93- Everthing is still stock to this day. Including the bags. Sorry it's had a tune-up.

The chamelion- paint code TA factory.-Everything is original, even the plugs and wires for now. The fuel pump has been replaced, and it has a napa reman starter [weird huh?]. That is all I can tell from the list of invoices I got with the car.

And the 95- Trans-go shift kit. 3 inch center pipe. No cats. Flo's for teh sound of it. And a dacco 2500 stall converter. Other things to come this thaw.

New mods coming soon.:nxsmile
 
OK, this is mostly from memory so I am probably going to forget stuff, but let's see...

Basic "every" Mark VIII mods:

1-2 accumulator
Mercon V in the tranny
Door handles replaced (going to have to happen again on the driver's side because some f*cker tried to break into my car at the movie theater)
Black paint with all chrome deleted painted sh*tastically by yours truly
New antenna motor
WD-40'd the crap out of the door latch
Lots of fiddly bit parts from other dead Mark VIIIs
Before I owned it, some previous owner replaced a good amount of the air ride with new components


Performance mods:

180 degree T-stat
March underdrive pulleys
Screamin' Demon coil packs
Livewires
NGK TR6 plugs
3.73 gear set with Trak-lock
Intake tube cleaned up, silencers removed
Airbox restrictions removed
Magnaflow catback exhaust
Twin 3" cutouts just aft of the manifolds
3200 RPM stall converter
Snow Performance Water/Meth injection
NX 20122 nitrous "wet" kit with 0-150 shot, electronically variable
NOS nitrous purge kit

Electronics mods

In dash VR3 VD640G GPS/CD/DVD/iPod unit
Dynotune A/F meter
Dynotune progressive nitrous controller
Snow Performance vacuum based water/meth controller
Hobbes low fuel pressure nitrous cutout switch
Custom built and installed nitrous/water meth controller and indicator system (hard to explain this one, you'd just have to see it)
SCT 4 bank flip chip, custom tuned

And then usually when I am at the track I am running on BFG 255/50/16 drag radials. Gotta get some new ones, though.

Best motor time is a 13.9 and best nitrous time is a 12.1. It has more in it, as last year I was posting consistent 12.3 times on street tires. Local track is at 1600 feet but the D/A here is always usually in the 2500 range.

97 Pewter Gray Base
K&N panel filter
diseboweled cats
Magnaflow resonator X pipe (in place of 3rd cat)
Magnaflow mufflers
SCT tune
Redline tuning billet hood struts

When I first started reading that I didn't look at the name, I just started to think to myself "Man, this guy could compete with Driller!" :) That list is just all kinds of impressive.

One thing I DO have that seems to be unique is some specific data about track results:

1/4 mile ET: 12.1891
1/4 mile MPH: 109.57
Track Altitude: 1330 feet
Temperature: 65 degrees
Humidity: 81%
Pressure: 30.15"

That gives me a corrected altitude of 1850 feet.
Corrected 1/4 mile ET: 11.933
Corrected 1/4 mile MPH: 111.981

nice times! what high stall do you have? I'm losing time in the beginning - but no wheel spin. best 60 foot is like 2.1. but its a turd out of the hole. I have a 2002 stang trans and sct chip, the shifts are still not as fast as i'de like them to be, losing time there.

And it seems when it pops into third that its a huge turd also dipping below the peak HP band.

I think if i had these things corrected it would be a low 14 sec car and a high 13 like yours if i did some weight reduction.

a buddy of mine whos like a jockey ran my car and ran the exact same time.

i got about 20 passes with the same time. 14.6 @ 95, i put some crappier tires on and the times when up to 14.9 @ 92. They are taller 225/75/16, but i got them for a steal and there a good touring tire, i like lonnng drives in the country!

I also run dynotune stuff, Dan is the MAN! I just grabbed an Innovate G2 for my Corrado - got an LC-1 on there, all autometer analog stuff.

If you hook up an lc-1 to the markviii - how does that tie into the sct software and where did you put the bosche wideband 02? did you leave in the stock 02s?

My rado was easy it only has one 02 and that happends to be the same bosche one the LC-1 uses ( i replaced it to have a clean o2).

My SCT chip was tuned on the dyno on and off spray so i didn't factor an lc-1 into the equation for the mark i'm very confident in my tuner: -
