When I asked, their opinion was that quality of metal and machining 'seemed' pretty decent, obviously visually checking you're not going to pick up any metallurgical flaws There's at least 3 main types of people who modify their cars imo. 1st sort spend the money first up and get genuine or top shelf parts, risk is kept to a minimum (top shelf items may obviously still break if you beat them beyond their capabilities) 2nd type save a dollar where they can, may run a bit closer to the edge, but understand the risk they're running and won't come on here crying if something breaks 3rd want everything for nothing and will end up in tears every time 3rd type never seem to last too long on here lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puffwagon Puff Gold Donating Members 16,012 Member For: 9y 11m 3d Gender: Male Location: South Australia Posted 31/05/17 08:24 AM Share Posted 31/05/17 08:24 AM It's more complicated than just the number of blades but generally more blades means more surface area which means more air. More air means more heat. 6+6 is more than 11 which is more than 5+5. 1 hour ago, camo86T said: Always thought 11 blade gave slightly better top end, 6+6 better low-mid range...never heard of 5+5 The ebay link is in this thread which is why I mentioned 5+5.
