a gsk won't add any power, but it sure does feel like it. it allows you to run higher rpms and fuel all the way through. i'm amazed your 0 plate has not trashed your tranny, you better save your money for a tranny because your gonna need it

370's add a ton of power, but i wish i would have spent alittle more money and went with some edm injectors. for the money though you can't beat them

perfectly said..

and while ur at it, go with the 4K kit, it seems to be the better option, and once its in there, u dont have to take it apart again and mess with the pump anymore. I have it. I too second the motion on the zero plate, your tranny must have nine lives, especially if you beat on it....

Hey - do a search on here for "free GSK" its a string from Gunracer. He tells how to put washers in above the governor springs and get over 3000 rpm.

u have a 100plate...look at the profile of that plate...thats the fueling u will get over 2700rpms...now add whatever gsks and that profile will just stretch over the wider new rpms...so technically ur biggest fuel surges will come on a couple 100 rpms later with a 3k gsk and another couple 100rpms later with the 4k.

if u had a 0 plate nothing should technically change
