damn i missed a lot of track action, i was too busy at the autojumble, what sort of power increase will it have on the a series- i suppose it depends on how much you use aswell, there was a feature car in mini world that was running 100bhp of NOS with his 2litre 16v that had 170bhp without NOS?



that means that itll be producing 270 when its on nitrous, and by the way NOS is a brand name.

i was going to stash everything in the tent, but that got taken down whilst i was still in it, lol, so i had to run with the tools and camping gear in the car, my best was an 18.2, i was hoping for a 17, but im happy with what i got, considering the weight and the state of the current engine. Ive set myself a target for next year, so keep an eye out for my project thread soon.

Wise! although alot of people have success myself included with these gaskets...its mainly for a standard engine! And as i know you don't run such an engine...so the BK450 is a good choice!
