Yep...1320X. It's gonna help but remember these animals (Turley, Brown, Kemp, Fereday, etc,) are headed toward mid 7's. Can't make up that difference with only a weight reduction.

I just wish I had more time in the seat, honing the skills before then. The motor will also become a limiting factor pretty quick this year. It's kind of a "starter" set-up. We figured it would be plenty for quite awhile but I think I'll get to it's limit before summers end provided we don't have any major problems between now and then.
