One look at the rear of the car makes me distrust the car!! i would not buy it!

1. has an SVT badge on the back


bilstein wheels??!1 come on!! i would NOT trust this guy with a monkey wrench

yea, even at 6 psi, you should be closer to 300 rwhp

He should be fine-- i was dyno tuned at 270rwhp and 312 rwtq through the auto and 6lbs of boost from the most inefficient blower in the world.

don't bother with the PI Heads--- they really don't gain much over the npi.

Just put on the PI intake and PI cams, the intake would REALLLLLLY waken up your car..the npi intake is sooo restrictive.


BTW mr. purple car-- you have auto or manual? Just wondering...most npi autos stock run 15.8 in the 1/4 mile and run 160 ( auto)- 180 ( manual) rwhp stock. So the person before was correct. (215 hp at the crank)

With a Torque converter and swapping out the pully for 9lbs of boost, retune- ill be running low 12's all day long. NPI heads just have a bad rap.

Nuh uh!!! My cars full npi/at and I ran a 14.8. Just saying. And I'm sure I can get better than that if I had better tires and more practice. That was my first and [so far] only time at the track...

If your car is a 5spd then yes i can see the high 14' 1/4 mile time

PI cams are not the answer you need a custom grind to bring out the real power of the NPI heads because the exhaust needs to be lower then the intake and it is ass opposite on the PI heads.. See my thread on this matter.

Thats great for the cams but im sure this young guy doesn't have the 600 bucks to put in these cams...plus another tune.

If he was having an xpipe installed,he will need the cams installed as well. more $$

I look from a $$$ perspective. PI cams you can get off a junk yard PI motor, preferably the romeo cams, and they still will add an extra 15rwhp without having to tune the car or hope it will idle right...the guy says himself

"You will need a tune to get it to idle, but a good tuner can make the Stage 1 sound stock. Otherwise its a rough idle..".
..but a tune can't fix everything. The car will still idle rough.. and on a DD thats a huuuge no for me. I had enough of that in the past...and for what..? an extra 10-15 rwhp? no thanks!!

Also congrats on that high 14 with street tires/ auto. IF you were truly 100% stock but i do not believe it. With my PI cams, intake, full exhaust, gears my car was only managing high 14's. You must have a factory beast.
