It might, but with twins are you really going to drive it nicely? Doubtful, what's the point of twins without using them? I'd also recommend serious transmission upgrades with that power.

twins arnt nessisarly setup for more power but for alot more efficiency. They can be setup for more power but there ALOT more efficient.

Yes that's true, I guess I just had HP on the mind...:devil:

So are we talking twins, or compounds?
