Of course playing with hypotheticals can be lots of fun and I would never attempt to discourage that!

Because talk turned to M24's new headers in this thread, I would like to reiterate that these pieces are still in the pre-release stages of R&D and although IND has quoted some preliminary figures directly from the manufacturer, as a company we will suspend judgement until a finished version is in our hands and available for testing.

Sorry to derail the thread! Hopefully this thread can turn into a comprehensive information database.
Ilia, of course withholding judgement until independent tests are conducted on stock cars without ECU tuning is the best way to go. Hopefully this is the exact type of scientific testing that IND plans to do to determine what gains the M24 headers achieve all by themselves and without any other mods influencing the results. Hopefully your tests will add to this database of S65 header knowledge.
