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.

Honestly , I can't remember what Drevo had..Hooker did make them early on.
I had to build my own out of Hooker S10 pieces, in 1984..Worth about 3-4 tenths.
The Cimarrons were owned and built by Mike Senia's Global Coach and Armor, including the headers.
They really aren't that hard on a J car.. the rear one goes right down thru the exhaust tunnel.. The front one goes under the pan or off to the side and out in front of the tire.
