Yeah much better, mind you nearly hit the curb leaving, must tame that right foot.

Will do but may get the turbo, not decided yet.

not sure exactly as monkfish are just finishing it off, within the next two weeks. Think it will be over 565. I want incar adjustable boost (more money too i think) so should be able to hit the 600+ mark. Will have to wait and see as with the price. Just not sure what to do, supercharger is £5k, nos is £3k (150hp shot, twin bottles, remote openers, bottle heaters, digital programmer, purge, etc - fitted plus i will have to fill the damn bottles - 8 port direct not a single shot in the airbox.) and turbo maybe about £7k.
