I believe wols0003 has an extremely valid point... there's no way your car is getting from 30-60 and 60-90 in the same time interval. That's why I'm questioning the accuracy of the timing as well as the speedometer. No need for a GPS in the vid... set cruise at 30 and tell us what GPS says, then do the same at 90. The percentage error can vary with speed.
Anyone have a G-Tech you can borrow? A timeslip from the local dragstrip would be the easiest & cheapest way to get dead accurate data... for about $20, I can get 4-6 runs at the drasgstrip near me. I have all the data uploaded in MS Excel format if you want to see the typical numbers for a 124/603. I'd be happy to post a scan of my diesel timeslip after I get my scanner working. I have a pic of my best time in my E500 but that would only be a fair comparison to a Finnish SuperTurbo, lol...

I believe it is a 96 olds cutlass supreme (2 door) with the 3.1 MP engine in it.
This engines spec out at about 155-160HP depending on year. His model has very low miles on it for its age (somewhere around 50-70k).
My thought is that the speedo would be less accurate the higher it goes since the 3mph around 55-60 turns into a larger percentage error at 80+...
When the cruise it set at 60...it reads about 57-58MPH on the GPS...I am unwilling to set it at 90MPH becuase if anyone understands oregon roads, the only place to do that is the freeway...
Nobody around here races except for the ricer groups and I have very little to do with them. My access to a mesuring unit is limited though if I can find funds enough, I will see about purchasing one. I generally can only do things to my car that my time (not money) allows (as the budget is rather small)
I'll see if I can get the rest of my videos edited today. The problem around here currently is that when the ambient is 80+ F its hot enough that my EGT's rise REAL quick (WOT to 60MPH results in 1200+F). During the night things get speedier however cameras don't work so good in the dark.
I am still thinking about an IC but am looking for a stock intake manifold to modifiy...
Not trying to fool you guys
