yeah ive had all the headwork done at hillpower and its pretty awsome, not sure on the power but i know ive had just over 155MPH whcih aint too bad, i think i payed just over £3000 for it all and nick is also a real nice guy!
does a good throttle body conversion for the valver, thats wat i want next from him

erm not run a 1/4 mile yet but the first time i had it on the rollers it was just pushing 122BHP at the wheels but have had it remapped since then!
but good point about it is its damn reliable, ive never ever had a problem with it, and nick did a great job!

well to be honest it doesnt accelerate alot faster, dont get me wrong its still quicker but u can notice it wen u hit 80MPH, ive surprised alot of bigger cars that think im gonna slow down at bout that speed but it just keeps pulling hard right up to about 130MPH, i was pretty impressed wen i felt wat it can do, next on the list is throttle bodies and a 2.0LTR bottom end!!! :wink:
