Great. I went for a spin in his WK when it had the kit on it and it was good fun. Not a big kick but just a smooth power that keeps on pulling and then smashes tyres on gear changes.

Yeah, we were chatting yesterday and it'll probably finish it at a bit over 400rwkw, will be doing the same fuel setup as the WK and also rods and pistons.
