I am working on upgrades for the PRV-6 that are
reasonable and you can put on your self. i am
thinking of cam, manifold upgrades, and exhaust that
can be purchased in pieces and steps and installed
your self (unlike them Texas folks. I am in the
process of acquiring an engine but if anyone else has
an old engine sitting around that they want to get rid
of let me know. I am going to try for the 200 HP mark.

I am also looking into this one but the lack of a D
has put this on the back burner a bit. if any one has
a stock set of springs the don't want anymore this
would help (lower the miles the better). also if
someone has a D in the South Bay area that i could
take some measurements on that would be helpful.
