Is there any other brand out there aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is a tailshaft or input shaft necessary? The guys that broke them will say yes, the guys that didn't will say no and the guys selling them will always say yes.What power figure are you aiming for anyway?

Always turn of traction control SDP, but when wheel spinning does it hit limter? Edited 01/10/12 08:10 AM by PAZZOnegger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to the limiter.If I were in your position I would do them but if I was to pull the engine apart in 6-12 months anyway I wouldn't bother because you can get a block cheap as anyway.

Now what brand should I get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
