Most of our cars won't burn them until 2000 somethin.. any car will do it above that. What mods are done to it that you know of?

So it got worse than when you first got it. It needs the tune if you didn't already get it tuned. Then you will notice the difference.

untuned with heads/cam? Yeah I'm surprised it runs even halfways decent. Get a dyno tune or at least a mailorder from madz28.com or pcmforless.com. Your low end will be back.

Yea, it will. It's finally getting used to the setup, but the Computer is going to compensate so much. Mine ran like crap until I got it tuned, now it's nuts..
