Don't waste your time... Pull the motor and freshen it up. It will save you time and money in the end. If you decide to just "clean" it up and change the oil I say it won't last long and will cause more damage to other parts that are still fine.

GF's stock GT (ok well drop in K&N and flowmasters welded into stock pipe), went mid 8's in the 1/8th (8.6). Also 7k for H/C/N20? Not anymore man, I did H/C for under 3k.

P.S. I don't buy the global warming crap, it's all cyclical. You can show global warming with select intervals of time but in the big picture it all comes and goes.

BTW, I ran a sweet 8.6 at 90+mph tonight. It's a new personal best. That was with me about turning the car sideways on street radials after trying to launch with boost.
Actually, I think it was Enzo Ferrari that said that. He's right though, I'm sure it took you alot of brain power to get your turbo setup. I think they call that "checkbook engineering." I mean c'mon, there are hillbillies taking turbos and parts off their tractors and welding **** together to put on their fox bodies, and it works.

As for Al Gore, I'm pretty sure I remember reading that he actually said something along the lines of claiming he brought the internet to the civilian public, not inventing it like most people believe. Then, it was being applied to military applications only, he simply tried to make it available to the public. It was the opposing political party that twisted what he said, he just didn't really seem to have the cojones to fight back with any rebuttle.
