MR. KIDD, With an auto car you will need to change over the stall converter to take full advantage of the DR's. Comparing the Automatic cars to Manuals is really not fair on a stock VS stock basis. An Auto car will 60' alot better than most drivers can pull from a manual car. I can only manage 1.8's with DR's.
I must say I have one of the factory FREAK cars, managed A best of 12.50 with only a Blackwing, DR's and before the LT's.

Not trying to hog this post but I have to ask your running 12.20s and all you did was headers,Vararam and DR's no cam or head work or did I miss something,reason for asking is I'm getting ready to purchase a 98 with automatic and would like it to run that good with mods like that.

Let me know what you guys think. Thanks alot!
It has 125K miles on the original motor.

Best thing to do is get a cam, valve springs and a tune.
