The car is clean, has clear SC Title and 62k miles and some change. Had it tuned a few weeks ago, it made 601rwhp at 14.8 psi. The car does not idle good, i have checked for vacuum leaks, none found. Swapped IAC valves, checked TPS and all seems to be good. My only guess is the cams are causing the rough idle. I have a binder full of receipts for everything done to the car, totaling over $36k not including the price of the car. The turbo/built motor setup has right at 20k miles on it. Asking price is $10,000 OBO. Trades will be considered but i will need cash on top. You couldn't build this car for a fraction of this. PM for any info, thanks!

Why so little power?

 

[blakef925]

601 on 14psi isn't too bad... It's got potential for way more, just needs the boost turned up. It also had a vacuum leak at that time and didn't want to idle, probably left some power on the table there as well.

 

[encasedmetal]

did you figure the idle out yet?

I was gonna say the same thing. 600 at 14lbs is stout. Should be a beast on a 20+ lb race fuel tune. Don't listen to that guy.

 

[blakef925]

Yea, it's definitely got the setup for some big power. 600 on the street is plenty though. Been there, done that. Haha

Idles and runs fine now?

 

[devive]

Any upr parts ,what gear rearend parts? track times?

 

[FATPAUL]

What does it need?

 

[blakef925]

Doesn't need anything.

 

[FATPAUL]

Have any video of it running? Looks bad ass

 

[blakef925]

PRICE DROP $10,000 obo, i need it gone!

 

[jwt390030]

Who did all of the work?

 

[blakef925]

Sean Hyland motorsports and mp performance

 

[jwt390030]

Is it like your 95?

 

[blakef925]

Way faster, but not near as nice as the 95 I had. I'll trade back for the 95 lol

 

[jwt390030]

I don't think I can afford to fix another car.

 

[projectslideway]

Awesome price for an awesome car! If I were in the market I'd buy it, switch to an 05+ slot style blow through and see if that solves the idle issues. Good luck with sale!

 

[andrewrj]

Not sure if the car was running with that engine bay picture, and I am sure its probably not your idle problem but shouldn't there be a block off plate where the egr used to be?

 

[blakef925]

There is a block off plug where the egr used to be. Bump it up
