Great news. Don’t scrimp on bearing quality, SKF only. Although I bought 4 recently, ECP stock them and I got them for 50 each over the counter.

MPG remained the same for me, was only careing about the performance anyway. Revo 1+ Custom airbox with RAM feed from foglight Silcone reinforced intake pipe Full Scorpion system V Power 473 bhp/400 torque on conservative dyno with graph to prove.
