LOL! Yeah, I am racing on Friday. A guy from work insists that he is going to whoop me with his I4 2003 Galant. No mods whatsoever. Hmmmm.... Maybe he should put some vinyl on it or something.

Nah, just tell him to get a Korean plate on his car, I hear they give you 20 HP.

Well Galant is almost a 1000lbs more then your Tib. At max the Galant is put 195 WHP and you should have (my guess with your mods) 170 or so. So you should win(if you hit your shifts and cops dont show up).

I also believe that removing # 4 sparkplug increases the amount of fuel, that is drawn in, then burned.. and hence increases HP by 15.. SO, add that to the plate and you have 35HP gain.

No cops, this is at the 1/8 mile track. I looked his car up and it said it came stock with 144 HP, it is the I4 not the V6.
