-i have removed intake resonater

-and goodyear eagle gt-hr's...
i know the tires and intake resonator dont add much for performance but those are all the things i've done myself... so i thought i'd include them
.....i will SOON be putting intake into my fender and create an air inlet out of an old corner lense(swappable)
its a 92 ls-l... with 150k miles, am i getting 'bout what i should for 0-60s?? sure doesnt seem like it..
my 200hp saab 9k turbo would get mid 6's...
anybody with relatively stock times lemme know if i'm on track or way off...
thanks alot!

Please keep in mind the "context" of the comparrison. Gear ratios and vehicle weight have plenty to do with the 0-60 speed. If you put really low gear gear ratios in your SVX, your acceleration can be transformed into a killer light-to-light racer. Dont expect any highway driving on it though.
The SVX is rather geared rather for highway cruising (and the top speed is quite nice as well). I am sure that if you changed your overall ratio to something like 4:44, you would be more impressed of the 0-60 time.
On a side note, if you plan on doing test like this and make changes to the car and compare positive or negative results.... get a accelerometer (something like a g-tech or tazzo). It takes the inacurracy out of a stop watch and speedometer test and can be done with a higher degree of saftey. It also takes the "butt dyno" out of the picture and can show even the smallest degree of improved (or lost) performance.
