Given the key restriction on the V6 is in the exhaust manifolds I cant see them making jack all difference!

But if you do try some, a before and after rolling road graph would be good to see.  :y

I very very much doubt there would be any difference without doing other mods like cams or head work ontop of a standalone or at least a piggyback ECU.

That's what you want. :y

Unfortunately, I think they don't clear the steering box on a RHD car. :'(

Would be nice to find someone who can make them up though.
