My good friend Frank, it's a 2.1, i won't tell about my compression
ratio for now (i see BB and some other comming on me), but let say it's
a bit higher, it's a DJ with the Euro ECU, german valves with some mild
P & P, balance Cofap Pistons, same for the rods. a lot of small stuff
that i don't like to talk about... for now! Not so long ago, i use to
modified head
/engine for honda motorcycle (private racing team) so i know my stuff,
don't worry.

Santa Cruz! i wish i could!

Thank bro
