the hyper 8 port is a little touchy on the tune, but it makes very nice power. plenty more than the nitro star s25

oh yeah i had a 8 port before the 26 i have now and i loved it, to me it was rather easy to tune and i would walk all over nitro star .25s its alittle boggy on the low end but stick a 15 or 14 on there and u will have plenty of speed and power get a good tuned pipe to the gpm pipe worked really well for more low end power
