Sure am Bart. It's anyone's guess how many poneys it will pull but my aim is 400kw which is just shy of 540hp at the wheels. Everything's there to support that sort of power so not sure whether it will run out if wind or fuel first.

They also open up the housing a little etc. NZEFI recomend using them and car aid said they have some tried and tested track and drift cars running ...
