The numbers i have found are a 16.3 and a 16.7 so i would imagine somewhere in there. A 15.5 Stock sounds horribly optimistic to me. My stealth ran a 15.5 or so and i can feel the difference in the cars. I guess i may have to take the car down to the track once if i get a chance before it closes and let everyone know what i ran.

Thanks everyone for the help.

Remove the sound deadening anchor under the hatch carpeting. Amazing how heavy that sucker is....

A ignition upgrade will help burn a richer mixture. The larger throttle body will help in Flow in upper RPM range. ALos if you get a MAF kit a larger throttle body is great because you can add the extra fuel, and I think it like a 20% boost in air flow. Like I said stage one and drop some weight.

And CJ is right about the throttle bodies

If I was going to make any significant alterations to the 944, I would do a chip LAST or very close to it. With a lighter flywheel, lighter pistons, lighter conrods and a lighter crank, you can run more agressive fuel and ignition maps than you would with stock items, and you could probably talk Wilk into doing a custom chip for _your_ setup. If not, there are lots of people who will.

If you aren't going to make any serious changes, by all means do the chip first. But if you're going to be cam swapping, going with an aftermarket flywheel and such, I'd hold off on a chip and get one coded for my specific car.

Just a thought...

slowtoady, Great idea, but i dont have plans on Heavy Modification. The extent that ill probably goto will be a nice set of Ceramic Headers, Chip, and Under Drive Pullies and cat back exhaust... of course all this execpt the chip falls under the "eventually" status of modification for me. Poor college kid, so i need to save some mone y as an "oh ****" fund.
