Unhappy Took my car out for a test ride....

Well yesterday I rolled the car outta the garage, left her warm up good and then went for a spin down my road.

Everything is mechanically sound, need to bleed the brakes again to get some of the small air pockets out, since I changed the lines & fluid.

There is just one problem... She got no spunk

I know it still needs alot of tuning work done to the VE table and spark tables. But it still shouldn't be this bad.

So I am kinda thinkin.... nitrous? Easy to install. I take that jungle gym of pipe work outta the front of the car. PUSH BUTTON POWER!!!!

Now that i got the forged bottom end she'll be good for a BIG shot, maybe a dual stage setup.

I didn't sleep at all last night. I have been debating it all night, paging through Jegs catalogs looking at setups.

Any advice on which kit? I would like to strat off w/ a 250 shot. I know the bottom end is good for it.

I personally think you should get the dual tanks polished carbon fiber noided direct ported spyder veined testicular cancered piston popping dry quad stage wet shot with sort of independent fuel system with a bottle of meth hooked up to that with a nano to push it all through. Should make atleast 2000hp to the TARRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Plus it will only cost you the low cost $400 for all of that stuff used!

Put a carb intake on it, plate and a fogger. Jet the plate to leave on then bring the fogger in .2 out. Jet the plate for about 200, fogger for about 250.

Standalone fuel system, everything low pressure, and take your time getting the tuneup right.. once it's right it will move.

Something tells me that you won't do it though.
