[Shotimes] RE: VAK Group Buy

[Paul Nimz]

Yes that is very true Paul.  And this gives the highest percentage of HP
reclaim on the lower HP motors.  If you have a 250 WHP motor it will not
percentage wise give as much gain as if you have a 175 WHP motor.  The
recovered HP is static based on the total electrical load WRT.  On the V8s
it will also reduce the PS pressure temporarily.
