Hi all.
In my Spit6 build, I would like to warm up the GT6 engine to around, say, 130
hp or so, and I was thinking of ordering PRI's Stage 1 plus kit.
Does anyone have experience with engines from them?
Is that level of power too much? I am thinking it is a somewhat hot street
level of power but not necessarily the makings of an intractable race engine.
Should be reliable, no?
Any thoughts are appreciated.
Take care,
Joao
