LOL, thats ok, i may buy that beams i showed you if still available. The idea of owning one is better than the reality, it seems. really depends on goals. Whats the goal? To have a slow car? Those things put down MAYBE 170hp at the wheels. Thats really nothing amazing. I do agree that they are "cool" because they are rare and come with a red valve cover and a catchy name, but if you want more power out of a 4cyl motor, you're going to want a turbo charged engine. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
