Doug Rippie Mod?
Okay all I need a little help. I recently purchased a '95 Coupe and the back window has "DRM 400" lettering on the side - it also has a rollbar installed so I think it was raced at one time. I am the 3rd owner and the previous owner was oblivious to what this was. I did some checking around and it seems to be the Doug Rippie Motorsports 400 package. Is there any way to find if this mod has been done? I was thinking of putting it on a chassis dyno to find out what kind of horsepower this baby has but do not know what the stock '95 should be putting out. Any advice or knowledge on what the LT1 engine horsepower should be?

It came as either a top end job, or a 383 package.

I contacted DRM and they only kept track of the owners name back then (1995).
I guess I am going to have to get the chassis dyno done. But it will be worth it if this car has been moded :auto:
