you may want to look into that Precision 6262, some try to compare it to a 35r but say the 6262 is leagues beyond in how much better it is.
I really liked the ID2000's for tuning,just couldn't get the idle below 1350 without going to 11.2-11.5 afr. Other then that they where great. I'll probably be replacing all 8 Bosch injectors with ID725's later to get rid of the little bit of idle miss that the 55lb.'ers always seem to have.
As far as the search for more power I think I'm about done. Can't run the track except on special ocassions. Convertible's faster then 13.49 have to have a rollbar. Faster then 11.99 a rollcage...

Damn, that things clean. Nicest Sunfire I have ever seen. Congrats
wow thats a beautiful fuel setup! goes prefectly with the rest of the car. excited to see how the new spoiler setup will work out! deff an inspiration for my vert!
What a car, i would love to see this thing in person someday
Wow I haven't seen that car in a long time. Looks great, I like the mirrors too. I think only a vert could pull those off.

Maybe the rules are different where you are but this is out of the IHRA rulebook .
"ROLL BARS{reprint from IHRA Rulebook}
Mandatory in all cars running 11.49 or quicker, or per class
requirements. All roll bars must be within 6 inches of the rear or
side of the driver's head, extend in height at least 3 inches above
the driver's helmet with driver in normal driving position, and be at
least as wide as the driver's shoulders or within 1 inch of the
driver's door."
"ROLL CAGE{reprint from IHRA rulebook}
Mandatory in all cars running quicker than 10.99 seconds or faster
than 135 mph, or per class requirements. Cars with unaltered
firewall, floor and body (from firewall rearward, wheeltubs
permitted) running between 10.00 and 10.99, roll bar permitted in
place of roll cage, or per Class Requirements. Cars with altered
firewall, floor faster than 11.49 must have rollcage and window net.
All cage structures must be designed in an attempt to protect the
driver from any angle, 360 degrees. All 4130 chrome-moly tube
welding must be done by approved TIG heliarc process; mild steel
tube welding must be approved MIG wire feed or TIG heliarc
process."
Just realized this may have changed because it is a convertible...either way car looks good, must be amazing to drive.
You not reading the "Convertible" supplement...

RIP JESSE GERARD.....Youll always be in my thoughts and prayers...
fire looks awesome! grats on the new numbers!
how hard was the wiring on the autometers? i've thought about changing out the stock cluster for a long time but the wiring has been a big hurdle.
Huge fan of the interior and the amazing job you did under the hood.
The exterior is the only thing that leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

You know, just personal tastes.
I don't like green, kit, spoiler, or the wheels.
Love your work Gary, as always! I remember talking to you how many bash's ago, about the putting the s/c on your '96. What a long way your car has come!

realistically tho, that isnt a track car, more power could easily be had especially with how your fueling and more power always looks better. I still say you look into a bigger turbo like i described and throw down some huge numbers, everything else is there but your getting choked up on that turbo. Not that your numbers are not impressive, they def are looking good
but dont cut yourself short, you have plenty to work with and tons of lovely E85 to be spitting in that motor. Also you can always let off the gas and still make a 500+ hp car run a 13.5
Either way im happy
hopefully you are too with the car, things look great
