Low and High End Peformance Mods

[matt23o]

I hear alot of people say how their non-tubo eclipse are much faster at high end speed. My car is completely the opposite. The only way I can beat anyone is if we race off the line. When I race at a dragstrip, I am head to head with most stock and modified 6 cylinders but then they KILL me after 50mph. My car has all low end speed and torque. What mods are good for high end power?

did you do any mods to make your engine lke that?

Nothing that i know of. Im wondering if it may be because of all the highway miles on it.. All the miles on my car are basically highway miles.

the n/t have a lot of mid range power. if you want more top end get a 4-1 header. i think you can change the timing to but im not positive.

the only way to change the timing on the 420a is to get a chip or power modual. the faulkin' DIS, distriborless ignition system, has no mechanical adjustments, i was slightly pissed when i noticed it....ok...really pissed. w/the power band our cars have, i would imagine that 3-5 degrees more advance on base line would give a higher power band, making more use of our 7200 cut off. but alas you can't do it.....
