I have been wanting to check the vacuum lines on the TA because I could hear a hiss coming from the back of the engine when in idle. I wasn't wrong, they were crap. The PCV line on the back was completely cut. And the MAP line cracked as soon as I touched it. God bless the man who decided to put the vacuum connection at the rear end of the manifold. My fore arms are all scratched and red. But I managed to change the lines completely, better sure than sorry.
Also, after I was done with the lines, I scanned it with the torque thing and noticed that when I pressed the gas pedal to the bottom, the TPS sensor would only go up to 85%After further inspection I noticed that the accelerator cable adjustment section was loose so the car was never going WOT LMAO. No wonder it was not getting close to the GTP and why it felt heavy when taking off.
So considering the huge vacuum leak and the 85% max throttle I'm pretty sure it will run at least in the high 14's range. I'll have to wait until the weekend to find out. I took it for a spin and it definitely feels stronger I love how hard it pulls at high RPMs but feels unstable on the rear, gotta be careful and keep it straight, it's been a long time since I drove a RWD.
I guess it's also a fun fact that it even beat a bolt on mustang with just 85% throttle and a vacuum leak.
