No, my point is that its never going to hold 400bhp on that clutch.

My Alcon 6-Paddle is on the limit at the power I run.

"CAN RUN AT 400 BHP AND CAN RUN AT 36 PSI"

"BUT WILL NEED A PULLEY ON THE FRONT AND THE BOTTOM END OF THE ENGINE UPGRADING."



"TRIANGLE SHAPED WATERPROOF LED INDICATORS."

tasty.

I find it amazing that bidding actually reached £4200 and i cant even get that for mine. Insane.

Ive just noticed a small FMIC too, rofl im tempted to phone him and ask questions just for a laugh.
