My auto NPI with nothing more than 3.73s and a rigged exhaust system was running about the same times as yours with similar 2.2 60 foot times.

Your car is faster than a lot of stock npi's but then again, I think my car was too.
How are they so different if they usually Dino at 190ish HP?I know that the 3.27 gear is a advantage over the 2.73 and that is probably where its at and of coarse the driver because i know these cars all run the same +/- a couple tenths same driver, same track,etc.

Well, Ive seen plenty of 5 speed npi cars run mid 14s...yours might havea little advantage with the gearing and you may just have a strong running motor.

People seem to have this idea that NPI cars run like 15s or something....I guess some guys do but usually NPI 5 speeds with good drivers pull mid to high 14s.

How much money do you have in mods?

AFR 185 Heads were on before and have stayed on.

Over $3,000 I replaced a lot of parts that were on the car when I bought it. Replaced the Cobra intake for the Trick Flow R ($640) Replaced the 90MM Lighting meter w/ the DBX 97MM ($400) Bassani X pipe and Magnapack mufflers (Approx $700) 31 Spline Moser axles, 3.73 Gears, 31 spline differential (Approx $600) 2 Core AL Radiator ($220) Ed Curtis Camshaft ($ 325) upgraded valve springs ($375)


Plus lots of odds and ends like Spark plugs, wires, Timing chain, cap & rotor, Valve Covers exc exc exc.. Id say around $3,500-$3,700 to date for what Ive put into it myself.

There is a lot of people that dont believe my car ran what it did, And that is what they say that these cars run like 15 flat out of the box

Now I think my car had 2.73 gears simply because it is a gts and does not even have traction-lock. 3.73 gears are way too much gear for the one wheel peel...

you guys realize you can look at the axle code on your door and find out what gears you have....it takes 30 seconds.

my auto had 3.08s
