i timed my 0-60 today and it waqs like 17.8 seconds. I have a 300sdl and i heard that it should be around 11-12 seconds. I have a boost gauge that reads about 12.5psi and the motor revs to about 48 4900 before it shifts out of gear when you floor it, i removed the alda and that helped the off idle accel a little bit. I purged it today, im going to change the oil tonight but does anybody have any ideas what i could do to make it run faster, how do i adjust the throttle linkage or how do i kno if it needs to be adjusted? what about the egr? can i use metal that tin snips can cut to make a plate to cover my egr when i remove it? does anyone kno what it could be thats causing my car to be slow?? it kinda seems like its not reving up as fast as it should be.
