Did booth, liked em both, but the 900 is the better of the twi IMO. I agree the kit is a bit restricted, which is why I bored mine out more The cap was crudely cut, so I rounded off the "wings". I liked the kit though, not bad. I could have bought it all cheaper, but I went for convince

Gresham, bought it all cheaper may i ask where?

I have both 900 and 1200 and would like to do these mods. I might even get rid of the 1200 and add 2 more 900's.

Hey Matt, I would say maybe 1/3rd more. It really is pretty amazing the flow generated by these mods. I really have only done a few but really think the time and bucks invested are worth it. Great flow and the size is relatively small compared to some larger more expensive pumps. I guess reliability will be the key. Not sure how these will hold up over time.
Best, Scott

Where do you find the props besides online?? Do the hardware stores carry them? where in the hardware store should I look? Like what department. Thanks again Covey. These bad-boys look really powerful. I LOVE IT
