K&N stands for Krazy&Naughty. So the power increase is stupendous, I'd put some weights in the boot and under the bonnet to keep the car on the ground too

upgrade your driveshaft to +400bhp ones you'll need it for the torque those 1.1s put out , mine use to tear gearboxs apart every weekend when i used to go rally driving with a few friends from self defence class , in had to get a quaiff dog box with a 1.4 furio differential put in otherwise i'd go through gear cogs like a hooker go's through cleanex , in the end i had to file the top of the cam profiles down to make it less of an animal ( i did this by running the cam along the floor) good luck pal you'll need it with these beasts.

Must be the Nankangs, they are even better in the wet or in snow. I recommend blasting up to the limit the top of second then back into 1st to use the extra secret ratio thats built into the box

Alex your comment has offended me.
I literally pushed the car out of the garage and the shafts shattered.
Srs.
Merry Christmas you sexy hairy man.
