It was lots of fun. It'd be interesting up against an sp20, I wonder how much different they are.

How did you go against the vzr pulsar?

He never wanted to run me, but was a little quicker than me I think.

Stock header. Theres honestly not much between them. And I do mean not much. FP has the better power band for track work IMO.

But depends on driving style to a degree IMO. Some people prefer a torquey engine, others like me like a hi reving engine.

With a header the FS starts to breathe sooooo much better and doesn't tapper off in the upper rpm. Guys in the states get 20hp from a decent header.

since the FS is so torquey down low, every bit of effort should be spent making sure it breathes well at high RPM... any rev happy mod makes it a more all around better motor
