Not too sure Lee.
As I understand, to gain the max benefit from running these, you should be looking at Gas flowing the head, matching inlet ports, a high cam etc..
But i'm only going to run these with a spikey cat cam, and price up a gas flow option too.
BHP will be about 20-25hp, if all the rest of the work is done then about 30bhp+.
Been reading it on R3V site.

Don't worry about the mods, they're more relaxed with that type of avatar :mad:
