Ok, we have decided to do an FAQ style topic on engines and various stages of tune for each, but what we want is for you guys to tell us the size of your engine and state of tune/mods that have been done to it.

Please keep it on topic and no stupid posts on this one as it will be for everyone once we go through them all and get all the info we need.

So what we're going to want from you is - Engine size and any modifications that have been done to it. We will then PM the people we need more information from.

Thanks, TMF Doc's
