ARP rod bolts are so the engine can rev higher without the bolts stretching/snapping.

No it doesn't. It increases your power to weight ratio. There's no technically about it.
yes it does really, if you still have the same BHP but less weight it effectivley increases your BHP/PT and also power to weight
Are you on crack?

My totaly standard, high millage engine, apart from the above mod made 121 bhp on the rollers.
Don't know of any other mod for this engine which will give the same proven results for less then £140.
Where can you get such an awsome pefomance upgrade from I hear you cry? Just give me a pm as I've got a batch of 5 being made at the moment and should be ready in a couple of weeks 
what price? other folk on here do them too.

Laugh at me Fuckin Hard if im wrong but would power to weight ratio not be the same as BHP per Ton??
As BHP is power and Ton is weight?

removing weight from a car does not add any BHP to the engine  , removing the weight simply as ed says makes the power to weight better.

Ah yes buying a new car, that is the best cost effective way of improving my cars power.
And whoever asked de restricting airbox is taking all the pipes out of the inside of the airbox and drilling holes in the bottom the airbox

That's aload of crap.
A garage carrying out the M.O.T only has to check the seatbelts for how ever many seats are in the car.
Therefore if you've removed your rear seatbelts but the seats are still in, the car will fail M.O.T.
If the seatbelts are there and theirs no seats, the car will fail M.O.T.
If there is no rear seats or no rear seatbelts and theirs only the front seats with front seat belts. The car can pass M.O.T.
As i had it done 3 months ago where i took my rear seats out so just took my seatbelts out.
