spend 2 quid on a resistor, then spend lots on a bore washed engine. nice :lol:

nah, forget it chap. it just aint gonna work. no way, no how. you'd be fudgekin hard pushed to get that increase out of fitting a cam, exhaust and carbs then no 2.00 quid resister is going to do it and thats the truth :D

The resistor does work exactly how described but rather than give you power it is far more likely to cost you power and cause damage to your engine (borewash anybody?).

A really really BAD idea
