15.7 @ 90mph is quick for stock... are you sure it's completely STOCK? Factory stock rating was 17sec+.

...
all the work ive done to the car is just to keep it running

intake
msd coil
8mm accel wires
ngk spark plugs
airtrack fuel pump
turbo injecters
turbo fuel rail
turbo fuel pressure regulater
took some crap off, ex. A/C, cruse control, charcol box and some other stuff.
also replaced all the hoes that make the motor look like ***.... only to find out that i dont need most of them on at all... so im looking into getting a custom intake manifold, and a stage 2 cam from msa, aswell as some fatter rubber in the rear

Why did you install the turbo injectors if they flow just like the n/a's?

Well.... I hate to say it, but his numbers are pretty legit.

I have about the same "mods" (if that's what you want to call them) and I went from 17.76 @ 82mph to 15.32 @ 91mph. 1st run was at about 500ft. and the latter was at over 5,000ft. ...and that was with my bad suspension. I need to run again to see what kind of times I'm pulling since I'm damn near sea level. ...just for fun, of course. This ain't no drag car.

Nice man my stock 280zx 10th anniversary ran a best time of 15.56 @ 88mph.

But I would have to agree with PPP, Take that tow hook off....
