Scaring pedestrians and drivers, just tuning a car honest...

turbo I had the Trans-Am Firehawk out tonight testing out a new tune. All I can say is WOW. The car is insane now and breaks the tires loose in first and second with ease; drag radial tires mind you. I think I'm going to have to get my slicks for the dyno tune session. The car seems to be reacting well, no knock retard, AFR starts at 12.5 and gradually comes down to 11.1 at peak rpm. I'd prefer it to be a little leaner. Car also idles pretty rich and will need a little more tweaking. Overall though it really is starting to come back. I just have to figure out how to get it registered again since the emissions lateness has the plate suspended. The turbo is also starting to go, most likely due to the long period of time without oil, it got coroded and thus now has bad seals and shaft play. I have a spare PT67 sitting around and will throw that on until I can get money to rebuild the PT76... maybe even have it upgraded to an 88. smile_devil
