I'm assuming a hot air?

Edit... I see you have an '87 motor with intercooler....

Your goose is cooked with him on the spray.

Edit: I still say your goose is cooked if you have never been to the track with yours or really worked on the tuneup.....



Not trying to discourage you... but a TE44 on an intercooled car with lots of tuning will run 11.50's fairly easy..... if you have never run your car at the track....you have too much to learn about driving and getting the most out of your car to be a serious threat to a 13 flat Chevelle on a 150 HP shot... if he installs the kit correctly....

If your car is intercooled... and he leaves the spray off... and you get some 26x8.5 slicks.... you have a chance...C16... you should be able to run a good bit higher boost... and easily go mid 12's with decent traction... first time to the track....but you need to have a handle on the tune.... and a scantool. With experience... you will get faster....

You need to find someone local that has one of these cars... and can help show you the way..... those old Chevelles can be beat.
