It seems like in order to get any decent speed you have to spend $3000.00 for a turbo kit!! Or you could go the nitrous route, which so far is not an option for me.
I am now convinced I need to save up for turbo, yesterday I got beat by my friends '89 minivan(v6). We were on a highway and the light was red as we approached so we both slowed down, then it went green and I dont know if he was even racing (and he had 4 other people in it), but all I know is that I had my slomatic car floored (ac off, od off) and he pulled ahead of me and i couldnt get enough speed to even stay along side him =(
Fortunatly for me, I told him that I wasnt even racing because I didnt want to embarras him in his soccer-mom bitch van lol. I may be slow, but as least my ride looks a lot better than his...
