After all, as I already mentioned, it's a daily and I need both reliability and drivability. On top of that there's the high-ish mileage.
If I could just end up with something around 280 - 285 HP (real ones though!!), I would be well happy!
Easy

I think I'll pass on the whole BSR idea then. In many ways that actually works out better for me, as I was really rushing the whole process as BSR in Denmark are having a sale which ends on Jan. 31st.
Now I'll allow myself a bit of time to sort a few other minor things that are probably more important. Then in a couple of months from now, I'll try contacting Don to see what he suggests we do about my craving for more power...

Great

Like I said though, do your homework and you'll be fine.

I have MTE goodies on mine and it works for me, but the next man may have something different.
Just have a good look around the various forums and get a feel for what's out there and which products get good reviews, you won't go far wrong.
