application of much technology. intercooled turbo, sequential fuel injection, one of if not the best ECMs of the period, positraction in most of them, the automatic transmission is a huge help in drag racing with a large turbo, and it's well mated to the engine. All these things came together.

The perfect combination of ahead-of it's time technology (SFI, intercooled turbo, ECM) behind-it's time overengineering (overbuilt block good to 10s with girdles, very tough tranny and rearend), and insane HP/$$$ ratio (crank up the boost and let her rip). An awesome car for sure. Welcome aboard.
