cheers dude.. should be a nice spec when its done. as its a daily sticking to stock sized tubby.. although i am thinking this wont be manly enough lol

 

[pegliobaglio]

Hmm I dunno they are good for 320bhp which is pretty good fun depending on the set up you run.
Obviously there is always an itch for more power though ha ha ah
