Kvbaby has cooler and exhaust as well and only reads 320, but is alot stronger on the road. Pwr cooler, herrod pipe kit, injectors & cat woul be a neat setup. As for hpf, there's a few members on here that use them but mick is the man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(can go towards the middle peddal)Still any recommendations on stainless dump+cat??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
