450 to 500 was a different world in terms of performance... install was very difficult.... 550 is another step up but more Tq than anything which appeal but comes with its own issues, like traction and the need to upgrade my clutch and drivetrain piece ( i like to do shit properly)..... the 550 is very very light install as most of the pieces are already in place from the 500kit :-)

the biggest difference i noticed with the stage 2 kits was the consistant power where-as 450 feels really slow after youve driven hard on a hot day, when i did track days with the 450 the heatsoak made the car feel as slow as stock after a long day at the track, with 500 it always feels fast......

450 to 550 would feel insane!!!! 550 is only available for the european owners however tom could easily run this as he has meth in place which simulates an effective 110 octane......
