Well I drive a zenith carbed 2-dr 99 which i find quite acceptable acceleration wise, but carb 900's are fairly sluggish, 100hp for a fairly heavy car. I'd try getting a full tuneup first though, and check the timing. Also the pierburg carb is more for emissions then performance. Is the car misfiring at low RPM's? chris <arcadepreservnopsamail.com> wrote in message news:8m61s0$df2$1nopsam1.deja.com... > I dont expect a sportscar but I find the bad acceleration at low rpms a > bit dangerous.
