Thread: Does my car seem slow?

Ok for some reason my car feels piss ass slow. Does it seem right or should it be faster.

I don't know man it doesn't seem right. Did you scan?

looks like a regal gs

what do you mean by full exhaust, do you have headers?

I'm only going from my experience, and it's 1 of thousands of possibilities, but my car ran slower when my MAF sensor went bad yet didn't seem like it was bad. Well using my HPTuners I discovered i was running in the "low octane" ranges on the spark advance settings of te spark control tables. Safety mechanism I guess...

Full exhaust is 3" down pipe to 2.5" ll the way to a turbo muffler

Got a T-Stat? That might help...change the plugs and wires too maybe?

All basic stuff has been done.

Maybe its time to get a different car. Something that is not as temperamental as the L67/36.

At this point i would get more joy watching the car burn, then driving it.

x2.

the car doesent seem THAT slow. nothing fast but its not dog slow. i think how your speedo is layed out give the impression its slower than what it is. i do think it has more in it tho, also your not boosting that high. might wanna check for some vacume leaks or something.

seems like a 4-5* of knock 3.4 pulley setup to me...not slow, just not tuned right yet..

thats what i would say.

Car don't seem that slow to me, but going by you're mod list I'd be willing to bet you got some KR which is killing you're power. You don't have much done to run a 3.4" perfectly IMO.

If you ever need a scan sometime, let me know, i'd be more than happy to help ya out if you're in the area.

BTW, last time we talked you mentioned possibly adding an SSIC or something. Course I recommended a DO kit over an SS any day of the week. Now might be the time to consider this, I'd be willing to bet w/ a smaller nozzle, 50/50 mix, and add a little timing you'd be very happy with your results, and KR would be the least of your worries. Food for thought buddy. If you wanna discuss this more, call me....
