March/April 2009 MOM DRK

I picked up this 1992 LX Convertible in Oct 2007 as a bone stock 90k 5.0 aod car to purely be my cruiser. I took it to Byron a week later and ran a 15.6@OMFGSLOW. I just couldn't take it and I have since gone through the entire drive train, suspension, painted the engine bay, and done a 5spd swap. Right now I'm switching up the exhaust, T/B, and tune a little trying to find some more power. With the combo below it makes just over 400RWHP on E85, idles good, and has unbelievable throttle response. I will be painting car in late summer 09 in the original Oxford white, replacing the top, and adding a MaximumMotorsports roll bar as well. I have done all of the work on this except for the tune. Mike Post at MPDynoTune did a excellent job for what I brought him, I would and do recomend him highly. Also Paul Schmudlach (SpeedKey) came to the rescue in towing it down to DynotuneMP for me.
