                  I recommend a gyrating kanutor fluctuator solenoid, it helps the frequency of your timing intervals within the shanter chamber to create better flowing tonic exhaust pulses, which usually increases hp significantly.

                            By the way, welcome to R3V!

                            people seem harsh sometimes, but really they are just E-thugs, so don't worry about them. (especially Jgood)
