   i wouldnt have one. No point really unless you have some other reasonable engine mods. Even after that i would rather have the gmc fuel pressure regulator

   better idea when you have the cam and manifold.
   
   how do you know your running 110? also what mods do/did you have when saying that?
   
   not doubting just asking

    yep! still thinking its an option.... cams r looking expensive at the mo! uping the fuel costs too! manifold is a definate will have in new year... with no2 u have a stupidly quick car when you want it! on tap so to speak. less £ on fuel but it is still £2k!!! Hmm they think no2 will get me 150bhp! any idea how much it is per bottle...lol
