I recently had my car dynoed, and I just thought I would post the results. The car has a high output coil, NGK UR5s, and a high-flow cat. It is a 5-speed and had a somewhat clogged paper air filter at the time of the run, which has since been replaced with a fresh K&N.

Sweet looking car

If you don't mind me asking, about how much does it cost to have a dyno done?

I got it done for free through a club at my school. Thanks for the compliment!

dang, maybe I can get one for free somehow

All I've ever had are notchies, but the more I see the fast back the more I want one....the wheels on the GT are awesome too.

How does it drive power wise? The HP and torque numbers are there but how does it feel? I'd love to take out an 88GT 5spd. I hear they have a much better suspension vs. earlier years....of course you already modded your suspension more-so. Ever think about upgrading you ignition system or have you done that?...seems it gives a bit more punch for the small price

I have an 87 coupe which has a 2.8 from an 85GT and a 5spd Isuzu put in it and I love it. I know the 2.8 doesn't put out big HP numbers but that car is pretty fast IMO. The 5spd tranny makes a world of difference vs the auto.

It feels a BUTTLOAD faster than my old 87GT auto. I may do an engine swap eventually, so I have really left the engine alone.

It handles better than any car I have ever driven.
