Reserves, Shiv, reserves ! Fuel is always upgradable...among other things,
the inlet manifold will come off, and the runners will be machined to
accept a new set of injectors, just below the NOS foggers. Haltech is
preparing a new controller, that will manage turbo and control this extra

without any decrease in efficiency...I have to try it !! ;-)

that's why I went with the KKK ! It will keep me busy for a while !
