The steelies wont fit over the 6 pots now tho and belive me it needs them 
rs shawn
It did 427bhp at well lane but the exhaust was grounding out and touching the prop so he couldnt strap it down any tighter to stop it spinning Ian at well lane reconed it would be hitting 450-460 if he could have strapped it down properly

Awesome. Gotta be happy with that? Is that around what you were expecting? 
1stEscort Did you read the full thread mate ? It's mentioned in there somewhere that Wenny's on the look-out for some 16" steelies.
