Thanx.

Read a thread yesterday where This exact a.c. lost 1 screw and the other two broke out the edges where they mount. I believe at some of the parts went past and 1 stuck between the butterfly in the tb. May be cheap metal( Chinese product). Look in the dyna section ( dual spike air cleaner ) thread.

I was wot yesterday from about 25mph to 120 right with a challenger srt8. With a dead stop race in sure he would have been pissed, but he was surprised enough to have to pull over so he could see what slow *** harley was hanging with him. At about 110 I could tell he was gonna start pulling lengths. I don't make a habit of street racing but since he stabbed it I thought what the hell....

The police around here got very serious about street racing after 2 guys racing on a suburban road accidentally killed a family. The media went nuts with the story, so the kid who's car hit the family basically no longer has a future.

well aware of the penalties. There are two stop signs between home and work. Twenty three miles ofRural farm land, still not safe or legal. Still an exhilarating short blast.

yeh I normally ride 2500-4500, and I like my TQ curve to come on early and strong. Riding down to 2k rpm is borderline lugging the motor anyway. still undecided between 204, 57h, tw222. from what I've read the 57h responds best with improved drive ratio belt pulleys, which I already have. Also I keep saying I won't do more to the motor later than cams, but you know how that goes- so cam choice will also be one that responds well to increased compression if I decide to work the heads a bit and raise static comp. granted I do understand the math behind cam selection and relation to comp ratios, so if I get a cam designed more for stock compression it will have an imposed limitation. On the flip side, if I went with say a TW555 it would work ok with stock comp, but won't really wake up until I raise it around 10.5:1

or maybe I'll get tired of over-analyzing it and just go full-Monty with a 107 kit and cams designed for such...
