   Probably just creeping around the 100bhp mark, have a search in your local area for rolling roads and get it dyno'd properly, theyll also help with identfying where you have flat spots etc so you know where to go with the engine.

   i know that, but the fact that its "stage 3" does not explain what's been done

   Sound like nice plans, PH3 / 708 cams would be good. And a S1 Inlet wont fit a VTS will it
