   Anybody got one fitted? Just wondered how much difference it makes..
   Got a brand new one for my furio. I've got a vts box in it so ive gained a bit of acceleration from having that in already.. Just wanted to know if i will get a noticeable difference from it.

   yea if you shave a couple kg off it you'll see a nice gain in acceleration

   I run an Atspeed racing one. Massive improvement in how it revs - much more freely. Can run a little lumpy on idle very occasionally, but soon sorts itself out.

    Because it's an auction where people go to buy bargains, noones going to buy it if it was full rrp would they?
    
    
    
    I'm interested in buying one, however what if i want to run lairer cam's in the future, can see the ide being really rough almost to the point where it can't idle because there isn't enough rotating mass? anyone have any input on this?
