yeah... I dunno... I was kinda disappointed but don't know what to do... guess I'll be going for show rather than go for this car and call it quits with performance for now...

best bet for power for you would be cams and see what that does, but the tranny mounts wont make that big of a difference

well that 163 isnt bad at all. especailly if he has all the same mods as you.
and im right there with you on the wanting to get an SS man. maybe when i start building credit ill look at a new car. or when i get another full time job.

torque convertors eat power
auto trans kills it even worse.
winter gas adds to the heart break of it.
most people who do them have manuals, hence the higher numbers from them. so before you compare your manual numbers to an auto car. keep that in mind.

no i haven't dyno'd but Jason did with stage 1 cams and he got about 163whp. I'm hoping to strip my car and sell the parts and buy an SS because i'm tired of this 2.2 auto and i lose power from that damn tranny as shown here.

Yeah i know. I started my car the one day and i here a tink tink and a grind and it was gone. then the car stalled out and i go start it again and it starts up like I just got the car from the lot. I hope it was something with the tranny because it feels like its been acting up. I was like great there went a valve but my intake pressure didnt go up so idk what it is. Also it's having trouble starting again on a hot start.
