I would be curious,..with a EG33 conversion or the 2.5 Turbos 0-60 times and also Hi-Way cruising speeds,. could U cruise at say 100-120 MPH depending on Trany ( I Know ) but whats the common numbers for those car's,..Taking the plunge ASAP and I cant do it quick enough..!!
The flat 6 conversion,equals 1980's Ferrari performance numbers easy and then some,.. |

I grew up with muscle cars in the 60s and 70s my brother had a 70 Chevy nova ss 396 and I had a 390 AMX and had plenty of rides in friends fast cars, none of them were as fast as my 914 with the 3.1 turbo with the 901 with short gears and lsd. But I can't hard launch it. From a rolling start the car is flat out fast straight through all gears with hardly any duration between gears.. If you can imagine it's kinda like I have 5 first gears.

I wouldn't brag too much about the AMC 390, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) but I know exactly what you mean, Chappy, can't shift it fast enough. That is SO cool when you get to that point, but still, take it to a dragstrip. You'll be the only non-muscle car there, which is already kind of cool, you'll have a MILLION people asking you questions, and you'll have a lot of fun. You probably know that already, they know what's hot and what's not, and your car will impress them. So grandma it off the line, if that's what you have to do, and then go for it, see what you got. Other than dyno numbers, which don't really mean that much, it's pretty much the ONLY performance number that people can actually compare. It will cost you maybe twenty bucks but it will be worth your time and you'll have fun, I guarantee. You also usually learn something about your car and the basics of acceleration, which is never a bad thing. But bottom line? It's a fun night.
