a stock auto will run normaly mid 14's a manual will run low 14's 14-14.3 seems to be the norm. As for your mods and what they do its hard to say cause the driver makes the biggest difference. you can have 400hp and not know how to drive and get beaten by a car with 260hp. so go run it and tell us hwo you do.

As for the gears again noramly you will see a drop of around 3tenths in teh quator,some get less some get more all of it has to do witht eh driver.

3.90s SHOULD lower your time by about half a second, IF you can drive the car. Traction becomes an even bigger issue when you change out the gears, but get them anyway.

Thumbs up

thanks guys...ill let you know what it runs.....im also thinknig about a 50 shot dry kit just to give it a little kick in the butt but i know that even with jjust gears its gonna be hard to stick to the track with my 245's on it. i am upgrading to 285's in the rear FR500 wheels and 265's in the front. any suggestions on the N20 set up??? will it even perform with the gears in the car or is that too much gear for the nitrous?

any nitrous kti is fine they all do the same thing. inject nitrous. just pick one you like with the features you like then get it. Me i like the Compucar wet kits. cheap,comes with nitrous filter and lifetime warrenty on noids. but this is me. or be like everyone else and get NX.
