Message	Last summer, I could only get between 13.8-14.2s 1/4 and ~ 100-101 mph trapspeeds. I didn't get to fully diagnose the problem before I had to put the car away in the fall. Here are some things for you to check out: 1) Clutch - is it slipping yet? If you have a stock clutch still, at stage 3 its probably already on its way out. 2) Timing - do you know whether its retarded back or not? 3) Boost and/or Vacuum Leaks - check for them. This is a big priority for myself this spring. 4) Compression? - Yikes! Probably unlikely that you actually have internal problems, but check it anyway. I'll be checking mine too. 5) Spark plugs - when did you change them last? And are you using the right type? 6) Catalytic Converters - or at least the pre-cats, may have some pluggage? Hope this helps. If you figure something out that fixes your problem, please let me know. I won't be able to tweak and test mine for at least another month or two.
