Get a bigger motor or a lighter car. A 2.8 has to work quite hard to get a car the size and weight of a maro moving.Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

ya i do have plans to put a 350 in. it will take me about untill the end of the summer to complete though i am just looking for some cheap ways to improve what i think is throttle response, the car will pick up after about 3 or 4 secconds of wide open from a stop.
