yep depending on the map you should see over 300lbs ft

just budget to replace your clutch soon after!!

Give Nick @ R-Tech a call - he's done my 130 and Steve_PD 150 with good results :afro:

urm yeah lol

standard clutch is good for approx 285lbs ft torque but depending on the map and age of the car and how heavy your right foot is will determine how long it lasts  :laugh: :laugh:
