Why the cat and not the dog. Sorry couldn't help it. (If ya can't beat em, join em. Inside joke. SC will come in on this one for sure) ;53
Boshy,
Can he easily remove the cat and replace it with a section of pipe to test this?
86er:
I agree with VO here, what you need to consider the L98 with the TPI rinners will lose it in top end torque, I think that if you are running mid to high 13's & around 95 to 100 mph would be fine.
There is nothing wrong with the 0 to 60 ft time, I feel that confirms it.
PS I would not think you cat is blaocked that much if at all, as Boschie said shove a broom stick up it after you remove it & tip it upside down to see what falls out
hot 70:
hey cam have i got it right first push the broom up the cat & then turn it upside down & see what falls out? sounds like something that the rat pack would do.

Depends on how his exhaust was put together. Odds are for an 87 the cat is probably flanged at both ends so it would be relatively easy. Thing is, running a temporary "test pipe" instead of a cat at the track will see a performance increase over a stock cat so it won't be a true test if the stock cat is clogged (although I'm sure the visual test one can do in taking it off would be sufficient).
