Re: Import Quick 8 @ Natural Bridge this friday..
those are 1st gen comparisons.. I own a 2nd... which had a piddly t25, leaky "plastic" bov (it might hold around 10psi), not to mention it's the wonderfully dreaded 7 bolt motor. I'm not saying anything over the weight ratio, cause I don't know what the gvr4 weighs. I just think it is a bad time for that car.

WOW its a push (1/4 mile times)
1991 Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 7.3 15.6
The only point I was trying to make was power to weight
Still 10.5 out of a Stock Galant I cant complain

So running the same time with an Extra 525 pounds is bad. If you use the rule of .10 for every 100lbs the VR-4at the same weight as the GS-t would run ~10.0 and the GS-t at the same weight of the vr-4 would run ~11.0
