Thanks for the info Derek, I myself think your right about the fact that
there are much better and easier ways to increase hp, i wasnt aware it was
only a 50hp increase to start with, thats pretty pissy considering the
stuffing about ( it sounds like) you have to do to get it running, and
besides, its illegal, and you cant use it on the street as you say, so why
bother! thanks once again, you've enlightened me my friend!
