seriously though...Bob, ill bet u $500 u CANT make Judges Z24 run 10's for only an extra $300 in mods, and LAST. Im sure it could run 10's BUT will blow up at the end of the quarter...and even than, thats a hard stretch...u think hes got thousands in suspension mods to let the car go 10's?
U can have as much power as u want, but if u cant put it to the ground ur going nowhere fast.
95-98 i believe it is, the 5-spd trannies r made by Isuzu. There garbage, actually, the tranny itself isnt garbage, the differential is.
If there was at LEAST a getrag in there like the 99+ 5-spd, and u werent running the factory ECU ontop of all the mods on the car. I can see the 3rd gen cavy being a GREAT tuner car. But thats the problem, unless u fork the money out for a crazy ultra expensive ECU or go standaloen management, the ecu will never take advantage of boost on those motors, and ull be seeing high 13's at best all day long.

even the getrags blow up, just not as fast. i popped number 5 at the track at the end of the season, lol. the stock ecu is actually alot better than what people give it credit for in the senes that it adapts to the way you drive. in fact we found when tuning the car withthe safc that as soon as you made a pull the car would override our settings and go back to stock, had to get around that in order to keep the car running at the proper air fuel ratio. the problem with the ecu is that itll start to pul lalot of timing around 15 psi, which can be compensated with either higher octane fuels or alchy/meth/water injection, which will essentially not only cool down the air charge but also has the added bonus that it adds octane to the mix. guess thats about as simple as i can make that so it sound right still. anyways that means you can go over the 15 pounds and the car wont go stupid and start to pull timing to the point where the added boost does nothing.
aside from that though it works great. im either gonna ru na megasquirt or an emanage this year, havent really decided yet but one going inbefore summer if i have it my way
