Took the Capri over to MAP's place and weighed it on 4 corner scales. It was just under 3200#'s with me in it. I always race with a full tank of gas, and it was about 3/4's so its close enough to call it 3200 ;) From my favorite calculator....

I knew there was a lot of ET on the table with this thing as I just didnt get the passes in this year to get the suspension happy with all of my time spent in China. That will change this winter as I'm re-doing most of it so it hooks.
The combo is a T-3 at 25 psi, browntops, and a mild big valve iron head with a ranger roller. This is the same combo as my TC plus a NPR intercooler versus the top mount (and a rotated intake).
Interesting, that combo in the TC ran...

Although that set up went 105 mph a few times, this was its best TC package. Based on that the NPR was worth just about 40 HP comparing the two. We knew it was badass, but these are about the best numbers for similar set-ups I've seen. I also always iced the IC on the TC, have never touched the NPR.
I also beleive there was more in the Capri if I could have fueled it beter. With the TC and the top mount, I was running 46#'s based fuel pressure, and it was okay. With the Capri and the NPR, I had the regualtor bottomed out at 51#'s base, and it needed more. I now have 55#' injectors, and it "feels" mad stronger. It will now turn the tires in 2nd and 3rd when it hits from a roll, and of course drives through the clutch that held fine prior.
Just a few more points for everyone to consider.
