With a NPI car you will be lucky to make about 210 WHP.

MM&FF did a huge story on the "project redheaded stepchild". With all the boltons they were just not getting good results.

For probably right around the same amount of money, espcially if you are gonna get LT headers, you can do a junkyard PI swap and make much more power.
