        Wait until you get the MP SBEC (when available). It will make
a big difference in your times.. Headers will offset low end losses, and
give you much better mid to high end torque as well.

        Sam '95 SLT CC 5 speed.
                     FIPK, 3" Cat back, MP SBEC, and DT headers
                     15.4 sec@90.4 mph
