But the fact is my 87 300d turbo can do 0-60 in about 5.5-6 sec now.

You are making an error somewhere. A stock 87 300D cannot accelerate faster to 0-60 than 10 seconds. You would have to be making 300-400hp to get an honest 0-60 in 5-6 seconds.

You are correct, but Im sure you hear that alot.

Its much more like 10-12 secs. But in my excitement I guesstamated low. But it amazes me how much turbo boost i get now, but after talking to the shop I may set it back the way the factory has it. Dont wanna hurt this pretty car with crazy amounts of boost.
