Dont think you`ll get much past that in a 1990 GT so I dont think there is much point.

But what all did you do? I'm trying to fix small things that the previous owner didn't like Ird plugs, belts, silverstar lights, royal purple oil, titanium brakes and a JL system etc...

Titanium brakes?????????only $8000 a pair, thats like 4 times the value of your car. Whats the point?

Thought you ment discs. Didnt know they had titanium pads!!! You`ll have to let us know how they go cause I`ve got some green stuff brake pads and they are crap.

Thanks!! My 14.7 was with full interior. Next time I head to the track I'll have weight reduction, exhaust, and I'm also porting my stock header.

yeah have to chip the ecu, i dunno what he did, ive tried to learn how to re chip but i just end with a headache and know less then what i did before... all i know is you take some type of resistance out of it, and he re mapped my air/fuel ratio
