My '93 240sx seems a little sluggish off the line. It's an automatic, which could be part of the problem, but my old automatic 1.8L Integra seemed to have more power off the line (once the 240sx hits about 4000ish RMP's no prob though). What can I do that's cheap but improves low-RPM, off the line performance?

no that sounds about the same... .. maybe its the auto .. i have an auto also and it at times seems slow off the line but i noticed if you turn off the O/D it is a bit faster... maybe its psychological with me but it seems so.

huh, I'll have to try that. I just get bummed when I see little Civic's burning out and I've got more torque on them and I can't even chirp it!!! Stupid auto transmission! :( :mad:
