I think all we need is someone to independently verify these figures and
then a solid discussion of what you give up to get these numbers
(reliability, emmissions, etc.) and we're done. These numbers are very
impressive on the face of it. The fact that they come from what appears to
be an ad or brochure from overseas is less impressive.

Why don't you ask the company if they will pay for a dyno test to see if we
can duplicate this performance for the North American market. If we can, I
am sure you can sell a lot of these.

For the record, folks, Kyle has shown me an impressive spec sheet on his
2.1 litre power increase kit. Representative results are:

3,500 rpm

Torque jumps from about 21 to about 30 and horsepower jumps from about 51
HP to about 63 HP.

About 75% of the increase is due to the rockers, while about 25% is due to
the chip.

As I say, the figures are impressive. We need to duplicate them on a USA
dyno, however.

Hey Kyle, why don't you get Michael Sullivan at Openmarket to get into one
of these. He seems to be in a mood for this kind of adventure/expense.
