Right now, we're just baby stepping. Learning what we can about the car. Trust me on this one, for stock, there aren't a lot of go fast parts to throw at this car. I'm just enjoying the challenge for the moment.
If you are using a stock ECU no matter how many parts you throw at it. It will adjust itself away from where you want to go.
Next time at the track. try disconnecting the battery for 2 minutes in the staging lanes. then go run without a burn out. I'm not familiar with GM stuff (maybe you GM guys can kick in) but on a Mopar it makes a world of difference.
One big problem you are going to face with that combo is that years ago. GM made up specs as they went along, they had quite a racing program. They used a lot of "one of" custom parts. In the whole driveline. (thats one reason why I laugh at those crying about the DPs and CJ's. Because those parts were only available to a few.
Back in the 90's the Quad 4 was almost as good as the turbo dodges (before the dodges got hp). I believe the Quad 4 was 175 hp.
