I have a stage 2 PRI engine running with Mikuni Carbs in my Spit 6. Nice setup
with good respectable power. I am unsure of the actual horsepower but I can
keep up with Miata's.
PRI is not a turnkey set up. You better be willing to tinker with the jetting,
tweak the timing, etc. I even installed an air/fuel meter to tweak the jetting.
I enjoy playing with my cars!
But hey, that is part of the fun!
I don't mind being part of the tuning process and I will probably have Chris at
PRI build another engine for my other GT6.
I have dealt with PRI for shocks, engine shroud, engines, carbs, and have
always found Chris to be honest and reliable.
Just my two cents

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
