Message	I went from running 14 to running 16's. :-( And I hear ya. It just crushes you to realize you're slow. My problem was just plain low on HP due to loss of compression. It was my NA loaner motor w/ over 130K miles on it. And I was raciDBD::ODBC::db prepare failed: (DBD: st_prepare/SQLAllocStmt err=-2) at incl_db.pm line 314. ng the crap out of it. Guess it was to go sometime. I was diagnosed having half the normal compression across all cylinders. BTW, here's my timesheet info 16.3 @ 83: [ http://www.bway.net/~alabrado/Z/_my_slips/20000817.html ] Based on your time slips, it looks like you're also low on power. Your 60's are way up there even for an auto. And so that carries thru out the entire 1/4 mile. You MPH is really low. Compare it to my timeslip. Very similar. Actually, you may have even less HP than my weakened motor. Definitely do a compression test first and then take it from there. Good luck, bro. -Arnel "Enjoyin' My Z's!" :-) ENTER! - Site last updated 04/24/2001. * Also check out www.SpeedLabNYC.com
