back when i did similar mods to mine as you i had to add an adjustable fuel pressure regulator to really get anything out of it. a tune id what you need OR steeda timing adjuster and fuel pressure regulator.
Your fooling yourself if you think its anything other than the fact that you havent gotten a custom tune...
MPH is slow for a 1450 DA on a pi cammed automatic.. trap is about 6-7 MPH low
Start with a tune.. then without being there it could be hard to tell but trans slippage could be a cause too. But I would think you could feel that
It doesn't need a tune to run good. The 98 tune is actually pretty good as is. My car runs good w/o a tune and it has a whole pi engine in it. SURE a tune will help but thats not the cause for his slow times.......
A tune will only net him 2-3 mph at best... He has some other underlying issue here. The trans/convertor could be it. Could not be. Hard to tell via the net.
hmm... it looks like it's pulling good
Yea, it feels like it too. I really thought it felt a lot better after I got the cams in. Felt lots better after the PI intake as well. But the times don't seem to be showing that. idk, I've got over half the tank of 87 octane gas out so far, so it won't be much longer before I get it tuned.
Btw, did your times and numbers come before or after a tune?
