Yeah man lol i want more power! I'd love to see what she can do now with 330rwkw's... thinking to take it down to Calder one night. If 297 gave me a 11.5, 330 might give me a low 11 or a high 10?

Future mods might be a 3 speed auto, just see how the standard 5 speed holds up 1st. Craig (Geea) in the black Turbo which runs mid 10's with 375rwkw's his 5 speed is holding up ok so it might be fine. Internals are next to be done on the list! Rob...
