The mesh off of your TB is not the best thing to do. You're probably running lean now since the maf screen regulates the air flow for the maf. You're not gaining anything and probably making things worse. I'd put it back in.

Lets see,

 

Engine Mods:

Thunder Racing 224 cam

Comp 918 springs

Self-ported TB

SLP air lid w/customized paper filter

NOS plate system

Ractronics Fuel System

Pacesetter LTs

ORY pipe, SLP Loudmouth exhaust

Custom Operating System via EFILive

all the other engine parts were on the car when I bought it, heads and/or intake have never been off. Yes I am a cheapskate, no timing chain, oil pump, pulleys/balancer, or Ti retainers :eek:

 

Drive train mods:

Custom built tranny (stock replacement clutches and bands, so it really is just a special shift kit, valve body mod, and some other strengthening)

TCI 3000 stall converter (stalls more like its a 4000 ????)

Rebuilt 7.5 10 bolt

3.73 gears

Detroit Locker

and again the rest is stock, axles, brakes, shocks, springs, and I am not waisting money on heavier 17 or 18 inch wheels (maybe someday I'll come across a deal on some draglites or something)

 

Suspension:

All BMR

Boxed sub-frame connectors

Adjustable torque arm (attached to the tranny)

Double adjustable LCAs

Double adjustable Panhard Rod

nothing else under the car.

 

I am very proud of this combo, I built it, tuned it, and drive it. Absolutly noone has worked on this car, however Starkmaster03 has helped out alot, and my wife has paid for and helped me acheive my goals. No one else deserves any credit for my car doing what it does. The last time down the track (pre-nitrous install) was its best, 1.66 60', 12.06 E.T., 112.02 MPH. I am convinced it has an 11.XX pass in it N/A, and I will spray it into the 10s.

 

Never been on a dyno, never even had anyone else look at my tune. I don't think anyone can make this combo much faster without a lot more money.

 

edit: I forgot my winter plans, I want to make it legal for 11.50s, so a 6-point bar and harness is in order. I would also like to pick up an SFI balancer. I don't think I want to spend all my extra money on this anymore. My original goal with the car was to run 11s on motor, and 10s on spray. So we'll see if I've accomplished that.

 

Engine rebuild, forged pistons, nice heads, "non-streetable" cam, shooting for 10.50s on spray. Fuck it I'll make it NHRA legal later.
