91 gt, I have an electric fan, underdrive pulleys, 3000 stall lockup from edge, 3.73's, Mac longtube headers, x-pipe, flowmasters, Cai, with an eibach prokit, I'm going to be putting some nitto 245/50/16's, I have ponys on it. I'm not sure what my car weighs but I'm sittin at 3000ft above sea level. I think it should be low 14's what do you guys think? And also I might be putting a 100 dry shot on it. What do you think with nitrous?

And I was going to ask if its worth it to spend money on a throttle body and MAF, there pretty expensive, but I'm not sure how much that helps out.

well the nitrous will sure make for more" fun factor " as for the throttle body and mass air ,all things considered the less restrictive you make the intake path the better off you will be ,just as you have done with the exuast which is less restrictive. p.s. i LOVED nitrous but got tired of filling the bottle all the time......

Well honestly, low 14's is probably pretty optimistic. You've got some mods going for you and some working against you. I'd say you'd be looking at mid 14's realistically and mid 13's with 100 shot. While you have an electric fan, u/d pullies, good stall, gears, and full exhaust, that can't overlook your airflow coming in. I don't see an intake listed and you spoke about a possible throttle body upgrade. IMO, that is where your restriction is going to be. With what you have and include a nice cobra, edelbrock, trickflow, or even an explorer intake and a 70mm throttle body you're going to be much better off. With those additions and those Nitto's, you should be upper 13's n/a and upper 12's on the 100 shot. The only thing other than that is the Eibach's, that's not going to help at all with weight transfer so you'll be limited to a certain extent on traction.

Nitrous can be a great power adder. It's the power adder that I have been using for 3 years. I enjoy it thoroughly. :-D
