they are very restrictive with the inlet and the like, also they are designed to run with no need for aftermarket management.....

You can remove the inlet and use trumpets on them...
I think they should market these to people with turbo charged engines really, they would be excelent on a LET

for that price i would say thats not a bad deal, especially being able to sell the mantzel on for £250 - £350? meaning its cost you about £200?

You get what you deserve. Without having more aggressive cams a less restrictive inlet wont do shite and without re-mapping everything to work together nothing will work right.....
