BTW, there'* another 93 that'* going to hand ALL of us our asses for a long time. A new standard is being set.

Well, in a matter of weeks, I'll know for sure if I keep the '93. If so, I'm moving forward quite rapidly on the intercooling idea I've been toying with (patent pending, :P )...I'll let ya know.

I ran a 15.2 last year, before my DIS-4 was installed and before my Custom burned PCM. (I also had a slightly loose sparkplug wire that was causing timing issues at WOT. 
) on a half tank of gas.
Theres no doubt in my mind that im in the 14s now, just with the new PCM alone. I gave my guy a complete read-out of my scantool, and he mappped accordingly. I cant keep my car in performance shift anymore b/c he mapped normal at the highest he could take it. If i floor it in performance mode and it shifts at redline, the whole car completely dies for a second and it lurches when it comes back up, It doesnt sound or feel good for my car at all. If not for the tranny in there now, the original would have been laying on the ground.
I''ve been lagging this year, (Still paying off last year!!) but i need to get some TR 7s with a .060 gap in there and and take it to get it dyno'ed. I believe i have to be close to 300 HPs right now and hella torque, when i finish my Video you'll understand... Its a BEAST
