I had a 86 T-Type, but sold it do to job loss. It also needed more work than I was capable of.

Look at the pic of the motor. It's a hot air car - pre 86 with no IC.

i severely doubt a monte carlo would break into the 15s either.. i drove one for a couple years and it was a bit of a dog.. still loved that car though.

i would really enjoy having a K5 blazer, from the 80's would be cool since it had TBI, but the full convert ones were late 60's early 70's

I used to have one ! #1289, there were limited numbers for the 3 yaers they made them. I sold it for $1000 only because my wifey said if I got rid of it(she hated it) and my DB1 integra I could get an STI, so I did. Got my STI and love it until Jan 08, now I'm back in an Integra(30-32 mpg) and trying to build my 67' Camaro.

I really love those Starion/ Conquest. I've been kinda looking for one ! They were both Mitsu's but Chrysler rebadged theirs and called it the Conquest, but it is the exact same car.

Here's a couple I had handy...
*
PS-I had a Starion for 2 years--went through two motors (bottom end) You could crank the boost up on those things easy, running 15psi was nothing, just that the bottom ends couldn't take it... I remember tearing the CRAP out of that car... it was so much fun !

It is the Mini Ram setup, the III is for FastBurn heads, this would be the second generation of the MiniRam, fits traditional/stock heads. I opt'd for the 1205 which is essentially the II.

Car is a torque monster. I have the dyno sheet hanging in the garage, HP was 380 something at the wheels and torque was 505 peak. WOT in 1st and 2nd is just a smoky mess... Fun to drive though!
BTW-
TTA's are pretty high up on my list, but the GN is right there with it!
