If U and Mike are both satisfied that everything else that could cause this problem has been eliminated, then by all means yes! <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" />

I'm gonna take it for a couple weeks and see what happens. If it slips they will have to rip into it again.

No full dyno pull yet.

My cousin was with me and didn't think I would burry the speedo. It hit 150 and then I saw a car about 1/2 mile ahead getting on from an on-ramp. The highway was so empty today. Cool out and nice and dry with sunshine, perfect day to perform.

Leo,
You're so right about just touching the gas without downshifting and the car just rockets off.

now all you have to do is get some real big meats under there and see what she does at the track! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I rode with Lyle when he picked it up. If you're having a really bad day, start this car up and take her for a spin, all problems will be forgotten! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

The idle is great and I was always worried about the idle quality. It takes about 1 minute to warm up and it smooths right out. Starts up with the first bump and stays on. I don't have to hold the brake any more than I did when it was stock when I shift into gear or sit at a light.
I must say I'm OVERLY pleased with the outcome. Mike Norris did a kick-*** job with the whole install, everything looks so perfect.
I've seen some of those looks from people when they see the acceleration, especially the totally freaked out look of the Yamaha FZR600 rider that I walked away from, from about 55 to 120. He just shook his head when he caught up after I slowed down.

I'm getting some 315/35/17 BFG's this week. I'm gonna skip the Nitto's, I think they'll be usueless.

Allright if handling is of importance then head straight for the BFG Comp T/A KD! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
