Actually, it's pretty fast compared to a factory stock 2.8 5-spd. It isn't as exiting as my old '55 Chevy running a Chevy Chaparel hypo 327, but it still fun and I can afford the gas...lol Compared to what?

I hate driving down the highway having my car wanting to track on the truck tire grooves. Also, notice the way it wants to steer to the right when going off the line! I want to eliminate all of that stuff and put the car back in control of the driver!

It would whoop you and its just a stock motor too. I agree this car is slow. Even compared to the factory one it isn't any noticeably faster then stock. Why because you put a different ignition coil on it? You have thousands of miles on it. Wear and tear decreases hp from factory ratings. You would be lucky if it makes 125 crank hp which is 15 lower then factory. I bet this car runs a high 15 to low 16 second qtr mile. Civic si's run low 15's. So yea its slow. hey check out my vid.

I'm planning to do some similar upgrades to my 87 GT also. Any specific improvements you've noticed from changing the coil to the high voltage one? Easier to start? Cheers, James. Nice Job!
