if I had endless cash on hand to make one change at a time and dyno it to study the changes, I'd do it to satisfy my scientific curiosity and maybe invent my own aftermarket stuff, but nay, I'll do it this way and hopefully get what I'm after soon... so I can spend all winter wishing I could ride in the mountains.

Yeah too bad we all can't be as fortunate as cvaria haha. I only wish I could buy all the parts and upgrades he does daily! I have goals to reach his status someday...

Hey cvaria, are you ever gonna put that Bassani pipe on? I've been curious about that pipe and waiting to hear your thoughts on it as well as Apex's El Diablo.

that bassani went out of the garage via ebay after i couldn't get myself to remove the grenades. I'm having a hard time trying to get my head around taking them off. I really don't want to. Hitting 100hp isnt worth it to me at this point. I even canceled the dyno with doc. I'm more worried about the front end.
