Okay Everyone,

My happy car is an 8v not a 16v and with some of the mods that I have done
including a ram air scoop that is non-restrictive should allow the car to be
faster than 16.753 I have cams and exhaust along with intake mods. So is the
car stumbling on itself and I don't know or what? Oh yeah the NOS is now
gone had to trade it for tires. So I do not have it and I didn't get to use
it at the strip to see if the car would respond a little better.
