i'm looking @ the 3 or 3PS kit - $3350 for the 3, $4100 for the 3PS.

so please, shoot me your thoughts - its a bit of $$$ so i need to make sure as to what i'm doing!

Yeah I would be interested to know also.

There was a great big long thread somewhere on here a while ago. I will have a look at that first.

Go the 3PS, after you get it back, you'd be asking yourself why you didnt spend an extra $700 for the extra power.

And when you think about it, $700 is only 2-3 weeks work.

PM XR Rob - he picked up i think a customised ersion of the Stage 3 PS from Mar at ITS Perfomance on Sunday - he still doin the 1500km run in to be safe but once its run in ask him how it feels
