    I can tell you the gains on either will be negligible on the standard v6, not sure with something that's been altered too much is the best thing to do. without looking at the spark advance and fuel maps I wouldn't be using it. No rev limiter certainly cant be good!

    Judging by the way the metal is bent, I would say something has been whacked into the top of the charger.
