johnH Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 you can, but its a waste of money as the gains would be very low and hardly noticeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Agreed, the BHP gain is very small for the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
