Nice numbers and seems like you have a nice power curve!

Yeah, It's at 900rpm now. I'll have to give 800 a try.

Yeah, there is a nice curve, small dip around 2500 or so... Pretty sure it's tune related. I plan on posting graphs after the new tune. The printouts I have now are black and white and are a cluttered mess. But I'll post the new ones when I get em

Wow.. 800 on the asa is really intense! Like I said, mine was at 900 and sounded mean as hell!
