Looking good Dave, I was having a look at the DS tank on Monday, nice job as usual by Pro Alloy.

Looking forward to seeing it progress

We did get the engine up to 316bhp but the torque dropped off so we went for a happy medium

I'm well chuffed with the outcome and should go pretty well

Hi there,
I'm running a standard ST170 on GSXR750 bodies, standard injectors and Canems ECU putting out 159 disappointing bhp in a Chevette and looking for around 225-240 useable brake. Could you possibly give me any tips, advice and costs?
