I like it too. It makes Hondas leak oil just from the sound . Yours sounds pretty damn good too by the way, but I'm sure that is thanks to the horse **** cam in it... lol. I know our cams are actually very, very close though. I have the idle down at 850, but I wonder if I can get it in to the 700's, so it barely sounds like it's running.

Thanks. It loves my money, and my wife calls it my mystriss (she sometimes uses other not so nice names though).

My daughter calls it the catfish, especially the times I had dry sweep under there, which looks like cat litter lol. It's led me to think "The Goldfish" would be another clever name. My wife won't let me change the name though, so I'm thinking I'll have to get my daughter to back me up lol. It's more up to her anyway.

Instead of having common names for the different "stage x" horse **** grinds you should have a meaningful naming scheme that we can all remember:

The Bill Cosby
The Kobe Bryant
The Grab Em by the P****!
The 1/4 Pounder!

Roger that. Carrying on.

Besides, we all know there is no proper break in for a horse ****. It breaks itself in. You just have to wait until it's done. There's no stopping it.
