Still one of my favorite cars that I've own out of all 43. I had the same year but my was rough around the edges. I used a Hitachi turbo off my fc rx-7 turbo II. It took every bit of 3800 rpm to get it spooling but when boost hit boy did it take off. It would start spinning tires around 4500 rpm in 1-4 gear.

Yeah,once the turbos spooled up it was hard to keep her planted, I believe the tires on her in that picture were Kumho 225 wide s-slicks. Even with these she was slippery. 2bags of sand in the back helps. Try to balance her distribution more, smaller radiator, low as possible fluids up front, get rid of windshield washer fluid, get rid of the glass headlights, run her with a full tank.

Good idea, never thought of adding sand bags. I had the smallest BFG radial T/A you could get in a 14. 215-60-14 I believe. Too big for the car but it was a blast to rip around corners in boost just waiting for it to lose traction.
