Just being bored and thought I'd askwhat I could possibly take or run with my current set-up.
OK, mods on my 1990 Daytona T1 auto:
1. Gutted interior...bare metal doors and roof, no rear seats or carpet behind the front seats...no speakers even.
2. 90 T1 2.5 with no balance shafts, '88 roller cam, copper shim, a/c delete, 180 degree tstat, open downpipe, Enforcer 1 Garrett with ported compressor housing and larger wheel, stainless lines, BR6es plugs, 10 PSI boost on fresh rebuild, new stock Mahles and Sealed Power rings, Mobil 0w40 synth oil, VNT stock IC/Rad combo, soft feeling auto trans.
I think the trans is whats killing me....I think if I had a manual or at least the trans from my van it would haul so much more balls. This one is the stock trans and it just feels tired. It feels like too much power is being lost in the converter.... It hangs on shifts and shift way too soft...plus it's whined at about 30mph for as long as I've owned the car. The van with pretty much the same setup, besides the Rad/IC and removed balance shafts seemed to be a lot quicker because the tranny shifted so much better and harder. I may swap it before it gets too cold out.
Any ideas??:D
