Ep3 1/4 mile time was at 18.0. Any ideas how to lower it?
We ran our 04 ep3 which was recently brought back to life with another k20a3. Quarter mile time was around 18. This might be a dumb question but im new to the racing scene and im no mechanic. Now this might sound dumb also but we recently changed out throttle bodies due to a vacuum leak. I have the old throttle body which was allowing alot of air in causing it to idle at 3k rpm. Can i put this one back on when i take it to the strip for lower time ?

the idle adjustment screw on the "open" throttle body might have just been set further open. It won't help make any more power when wide open.
