0 to 60 + a bit more
Well, yesterday I installed my new O2 sensor, and today I got my new EGR tube. So I replaced teh cracked leaking one. No SES lights. So I decided to do a little video before I install my 1.9:1 rockers, just to see what difference there is.

Tires slipped a lot, just couldn't get them to hook up. Dont have a stop watch, but looks like about 6 seconds and I still had slippage around 50. Cant amagine what it'* going to be like after I finish the valve train. Think I better look at better tires this year.

Hey Dan, am I seeing that right.....1st gear all the way to 55? Do you have a stall?
Hard to tell w/o sound hehee. I like to take off normal and gradually step into it to hold 1st gear until I hit 27-29 mph then stab into wot and still get rubber but have not noticed when 1-2 hits.

I should have the car all back together today so I'll make another vid. Then see what the difference is. I really need to get a camera with sound.

Yes, I love the slippage! The tourqe range and the way the trans is set up is great. My wife has an oo' Grand Am Gt and it'* decent but I much prefer the Bonnie set up! Can't wait to see the next vid!
