I just wonder where in the band the shorties help..

What's the difference between VRP's shorties and HEM's?

Got it. Did you get them yet? Notice more top end and slight noise? It makes the SC seem like it spins a little easier (i.e. less lag), which is nice with the larger pulley and 80mmTB

Sweet!! Any other mods on or planned or is this the first performance one? Even on a stock car, I'd expect nice mid to top end IF cooling is adequate. Vadim will be able to monitor and let you know what you need to wake that thing up!!
p.s. I love my MbenzNL stuff, too!!!
