Okay, so about two weeks ago I comepleted my 5 speed swap. Came out of another 94' but it was a non turbo.
Prior to doing the swap i was running consistant 15.5's in the quarter and i had a bad torque converter. Now i have a perfect shifting 5 speed with r clutch and my best time so far was a 15.9 and im getting mostly 16.2s...am i mistaken or should i be in the mid to high 14's right now? I found some vacuum lines that i had forgotten off but i got those fixed now and still no performance increase. Only vacuum lines i cant place broke during the swap and one is the out on the purge valve and the other is the line off the charcoal canister (the one that doesn't go to the rear of the car). I also have an occasional cut where I lose power for half a second as well as backfiring often. Prior to the swap it ran perfectly. I also straight piped it during swap which may have reduced back pressure but I doubt that is the issue. Also I know it isn't my shifting or traction issues because I lost a roll race with my friends tc that I always smoked before the swap. Please, any help is greatly appreciated.
