Got a friend who makes the 1/4 turn throttle kits, mine was $35 I believe. Let me know if you need one and I'll give you his info.
Gotta go watch a movie with the wife n kids: weather permitting it's opening day at Pacific Raceways tomorrow! Can't wait to get my damned baseline run done so I can put the 3400 stall in. Then the cam. Then the heads. I want to get times for each mod, since no one ever seems to do that kinda thing anymore (make posts showing each improvement).

Other instance was me getting beat by a 09 GSXR750 on the freeway when he caught up to me and paced me in 1st gear: I slowed down to 50 to talk and started downshifting: he took off. I only bothered to downshift to 3rd and he walked away... by 130mph I was noticeably closing the 6-8 car gap when he let up. Pissed at myself now, I got him to re race me from 45mph- and destroyed him. Point being, right gear is critical, even for a bike like mine that makes a massive 120ftlb of torque (twice what a GSXR 750 makes).
let me take you back to school... he just admitted his horsepower which is a bit north of 400rwhp, still not enough to hang with a 750 gixxer FROM A ROLL EVEN... get your mind right before you come on here trying to act like you know wtf your talking about, and if he has owned gixxers before he should know he wouldnt even beat a 600 so go find somebody elses nuts to hang from
hmmm....interesting. So, all you care about is peak hp numbers eh? I'd be shocked if his car weighs over 3000#'s. That doesn't count for anything? What about the close ratio T56 over the old T5? what about his 4.10s over stock 3.27s (or 3.08s)? Dang n00bs. 
Let's also not forgot Sarge has owned a gixxer himself. D'oh.

I've owned a GSXR-1000, CBR1000RR, CBR600RR, and a ZX9R back in the day.
I like to think I know a thing or two about bikes

Nice kill there Stoppy! I love your threads, they bring all the tools out from under rocks. Then a big hilarious flamefest. I guess Sarge scared em off this time.

Good kill Kevin, I dont doubt it at all... The 600/750's lose a lot of steam once they get up to higher speeds

Not trying to start anything but I find it funny as hell when a 450 ish rwhp guy comes on that isnt well known and says he beat a 600 or 750 and gets his *** blasted for it and noway he could outrun anything but when a known guy does the exact same thing everyone going "good Kill" "I can see that happening, nice".

I think the difference was the other guy said his car was faster than said bikes. I think that in this case, he just claimed to have won the race.
For example, I have in 2 occasions won a race with 1 stock 99 Z28, and one catback only 2001 Z28. My car however isn't faster than said cars. I just beat the drivers.

I wouldn't consider myself a "Ford" guy. I'm 37 and I have owned one Ford. Two if you count my wife's Mercury Tracer. I like, and have bought all kinds of cars with different brands. I've always liked the Mustang however. Not really a "Ford" thing IMHO.
Just like I like the Camaro and Vette, but not much else from GM.

He beat them fair and square, and was congratulated on it
. Just funny how some still don't know his sig is sarcasm, and assumes he is a slow 300rwhp stang.

Actually it's not funny at all. What's funny is how if anyone else pulls that **** they get banned/threadlocked. Stopsign is allowed to cause **** with no reprecussion. Might as well start telling people he's pulling liter bikes with a prius in his sig, that's about how fast 99% of 5.0's are.
