Like I said... If you have aftermarket anything (Accel) then you have more than we had ..
We had nothing but GM parts in the fuel system ,...and in the f. i. system...and we had the exact same iron cylinder heads and FI that you have Okay? Got it?
Bill Drevo won an NHRA divisional at Suffolk in 1985 with his 173 2.8 X-11 Citation..so you can forget about doing that first too.
This one's ready for the jury....

Fuel system, fuel injection system...same thing in cars like that...granted I left out that I replaced the factory computer with an rules legal Accel Calmap (however I don't have Woodro Josey's smarts on how to tune it, and no baseline was given for me to start out with like the V8's got to enjoy thanks to him)!
Like I said, I don't have yours or Billy Dees smarts, so that's a major strike against me, however, the last time I made a tuning change, it was worth .4 sec, so I'm heading in the right direction (if only I was closer to someone like Woodro Josey, or Craig Railsback at B.D.S., because they would set my calmap up straight). My question to you is did you have headers on your Cimarron? I recall in the '80's they made them for fwd cars with my engine...perhaps Billy Drevo had a set on his divisional event winning Citation...I know Linda Sherman had them on her Citation, because Randy Hyman bought her car, and it came with Hooker Headers. Moreover, since now you're calling my combo pud, go for it! I hope you do buy it! You have 4-5 wks to build it and convert it to an '86 's specs, which means (if it's a Cavalier), you'll have to get a flat hood (not cowl inducted), and cast iron heads. I hope you do get it, because as I also said, I'm not the only one you'll have to race against, and good luck trying to qualify to race me.
