    just an expensive intake manifold thatll give you like 5kw. A bit of a waste really.

    and make a massive difference to the low down torque & power curve. Single best investment for an NA motor. Well maybe not single best, but if I was to be building an all motor VR, it'd have a schrick!

    I just put a heat shield around my pod and that has made a massive difference in the low revs. I'd post a pic but I've only got the net on my phone

    True, but this doesnt help with the idea of just sending it to me... Schrick + 268's would be so much win, keeing the low end of a stock vr, with a heap more up top

    Can an engine be removed in a driveway, ie with a trolley jack, or is a hoist / crane required?
