Its all about the weight rather than the HP.. I have a mate who went low 7's on 187mph with stock planetaries.. Make sure you discuss weight.. stuff you buy from the US generally ends up in cars which weigh **** all. For example if I was buying a glide for a car that weighed 2400lbs would cost $2500 vs $5000 for a car that weighs 4000lbs
