Message	1). I was wrong about the car from Japan and your were right, it does have the HKS fmic ( I looked that up after I posted). 2). The real question of you making 850 hp through the Greddy side mounts would be HOW MANY TIMES YOU DID IT. If the only time you did it is when you ran the 140+ trap speed, then that would certainly go a long way in speaking volumes about the efficiency of that setup at that power level. Also, in that setup, reliability would have to be a huge issue even running the nitrous to keep the temps cool. B.
