Normally I'd say that modifications like that would give you about a extra 20 BHP. But looking at that you could be on for 100!! You might need to fit some of those windscreen wiper spoilers to give it a bit more down force to help keep all that extra power in contact with the Tarmac!

Today has partly been a getting things working kinda day. I have established the reason for the temperature gauge not showing any temperature is because the sender is not sending. Still haven't worked out why the rev counter isn't counting revs though. Had the instruments out and refreshed a few joints and connections. I did find out that the rear suspension knock which was a little worrying and sounded like something very big was very loose was because the jack and the spare wheel were both free range in their corner of the boot. That's now "fixed" too. Found nearly enough wheels and tyres to upgrade. . Fitted new HT leads. See the excitement. Looked at it... Had tea, pasty, doughnut, chocolate cornflake things, tea. Ummm. Sent from my new sofaaaaaah, thats better using proboards

Today, during a few spare moments I have installed some headlamps and completed a couple if the necessary stages of Opelification (shock horror). Now I specifically wanted an Opel Senator and despite them all being made in Russelheim this one was badged as a Vauxhall in line with the marketing arrangements in the mid eighties. Horn push... Front grille.... I haven't finished the boot lid yet so no pictures. Ordered some paint to freshen up some wheels and that'll do. I might black out the polished trim but not decided yet. Need to fish out my spare GSE springs too. Need to tart this up a bit too. TTFN Sent from my back still hurts using proboards

Bit of badge removal, powerclean and fingernail to remove residue then polishing compound and a bit of spray polish. This side I shall leave just so the people behind have something to read. I believe overenthusiastic sport onny offing might have been to blame for the LED being detached in here. Much sporty many acceleration. New unwonkerised plates now stuck on. Now sat on sofa after over exerting myself. Sent from my goodness, is that the time? using proboards

Basically yes. Consider it a sport button, turns off 4th gear, lowers and stiffens the suspension, improves throttle response and opens the exhaust bypass flaps.
