Question slow off the line

hey all,

I was reading the other day that there is some kind of resistor that doesn't allow the car its full potential @ WOT from a stop. I could believe this b/c the car is a little slow off the line when hammering the pedal. Anyone know anything>?

Welcome to the site. Do a search for 'Bead Crush mod'. ImmortalSuby has pics in his locker of which bead to crush.

However, if you want more torque down low and power on the top-end, I'd strongly suggest getting the ECUTune Stage 1 chip from www.ecutune.com. Chips run $219.00 and the performance gain is worth it (two of my pals Svxfiles and SVXRide have one - none available for my '96 yet)!!!

<joking>I think the main resistor is the SVX 4EAT</joking>

Another way to improve off the line performance is with the stage 1 performance chip from www.ecutune.com
