Mercedes CLK GTR runs the 1/4 mile in about...9.6 seconds at, if I'm not mistaken, around 150-160. Among other cars, I'm sure. And my father owned an LS1 Camaro...stock, ran the 1/4 mile, and I was looking at his timeslips...he never passed 160. He also took it to the local track for a few hours to mess around, never reached 160 on a 1-mile track. So...fight all you want about it, all I wanted to do, originally, was correct a sig...which was meant to be a joke, and it was made into an argument. I even said "No flame intended." I won't be checking this thread again, I believe it's purpose is gone.

WOOOO HOOOOOO another sig kill for GTstang. lol. You know with a screenname like GTstang and a sig like that, you would think that people had to know he is jokin around. I guess people just have to prove they know it all.

Yeah, I really love that sig. It almost got me the first time I saw it then I read the name and it came to me hehe.

Hi,
It seems like you thread has been highjacked. Anyways, here is some help. The fundamental cork in the bottle for horsepower is the flow of air/fuel in and exhaust out. Here is what you need to do, in order of importance:
1. Add some headers, 1 5/8 inchers and a decent exhaust system. It will make a big difference and sound much better too.
2. A different intake, try the Weiand Stealth. Great low-end but single-plane like upper end.
3. Put on a decent 600 cfm vac secondary carb, ie Holley 4150
4. Make sure your ignition is up to snuff, new cap/rotor/wires/coil.
5. New cam - 302 cams from this era are pathetically weak. try something with around [email protected] duration, .475 lift or so.
6. Steeper rear-end gears, around 3.55's or so, compared to stock 2.73's.
7. Higher stall converter, ie 2500 or so.

Bingo, the above mods cost about around $1000 or so but you probably have 225 hp+ underhood now and dropped 2 secs of your quarter time. The Capri is very light, if stripped can easily be as light as a CRX. Make him kiss your ass next time.
Good luck
