Once fully ported and running bigger cams and a better intake, the difference between npi and PI heads is really insignificant.

Edit: maybe not insignificant, but certainly much less of a difference when all the major problems with the NPI top end are addressed.

I believe it. Lol and yea, it's running high compression, but who would be that uneducated to build a purpose built n/a or nitrous motor low compression? And they are MHS stage 3.5 n/a cams I believe, not just 3's.

I seriously cannot imagine how annoying it must be to drive 4.56 gears on the street on a 2v.

I don't think it would be too much worse than 4.10's or 4.30's. With a built motor like that, I highly doubt the guy cares about fuel economy.

I don't give a rats rectum about fuel economy either, I just meant it as an annoyance of having to be in third gear by the time you leave an intersection practically.

I guess one benefit about 4.56's is you would really never have to use 1st gear if you didn't want to!
