only running 25jets at the moment, and its stupidly rich too (they sell the kits running rich to stop people melting their engines) but it works and thats the main thing increqase in power is also barely noiceable, but then itll feel a bit better when the proper jets are put on and its all set up on the 18th

needs a bit of tidying up of wires, and i wanna change the location of the crossfire injector but apart form that its all sweet

bigger ones in later... i was supposed to receive 50s straight away, but highpower didnt put them in the kit (ive paid for em tho) so gonna get some sent down...

i think im gonna leave it untill i get it set up by a pro tho...ive fitted n tested it, but dont fancy trying to set it up myself... i understand the teory behind it with static tests n plug chops n stuff, but dont wanna rick it.

i'll probably go for either 50, 75, or 100 but i've got a progressive controller aswell so it should be ok

I'd go with 75 (or even 50) on the progressive throttle thing, but have an extra 25 standing by linked to a button for instant fun
