Anyone still rockin old school bolt on combos?

This is right around where i advise guys to stop unless they want to spend alot of money and really need to build a combo to drop a few seconds et.
So they dont regret
Yes - I'm still doing it old school with the following: original engine with Comp 979 valve springs all else stock, TA-49 I bought from Red with ported elbow, ATR stock replacement 2.5" downpipe, ATR 2.5" test pipe, ATR 3" crossflow exhaust, stock intercooler with big neck, Walbro pump, ATR fuel pressure regulator, Pete Tomka air filter setup behind drivers headlight, Turbo Tweak chip, 9.5" single lockup Vigilante torque convertor, Hotchis rear lower control arms, and Mickey Thompson 255/60-15's on stock T wheels. I have run 11.98 @ 112 around 22 pounds of boost not leaning on it with 110 octane gas. At 17 pounds of boost on pump 93 it runs 13 flat anytime. Tuning it some on pump gas I have run 12.50's on pump gas. Drives and runs way better than stock. I drove this car stock so I know. The combo could go faster but I always keep it conservative on the tune.

50lb injectors
OLD DFI
Twin Bosch external fuel pumps

I made the jump-see my signature. Looking back it was a waste of time and money. The reason is I drive this modified car the same way I drive my other one which is a stock WE4. You can't race on the street and I am not a drag racer(too expensive).

I am. Vig 3200 lockup converter, precision te62, 80# deka’s, stock core and a half stretched intercooler with a dutt neck, comp 981 springs, etc. Runs like the wind for old school garbage… absolutely obliterates street tires with any kind of throttle input unless doing highway pulls..
