So I'm new here.I have a pinto that I drag race.I am still trouble shooting some things,but so far so good.It is a 2.3 turbo alcohol car.Mechanical injection.The car has run 9.70's and I am working towards 8.90's.This is my first venture into mechanical injection and I am strugling a bit.I also have a little wiggle on shut down at any thing over 135mph.It's not real bad,enough to get your attention,but I am worried that it will get worse with more speed.Thanks in advance for anyones interest.I am hoping to find some people here who have some experience at higher 1/4 mi speeds with pinto body.
Welcome aboard AJ
I'm sure you'll find some serious Drag Racers here to help you.
Thanks for the reply.I have linked a picture.Just hoping to spark some more interest.I have several 2.3t vehicles so if there are any questions I can help answer ask away.Looking forward to talking to you guys do you have a specified chat time?

AJ,
I have a friend of mine that runs an 8 sec Pinto. Here is the link to his site.

Call him, he is a good guy and lots of experience. He ran a rear spoiler and then a wing. 8 sec car straight as a string.
