welllll I killed the dyno with my FC's massive HP...ok, When Rick at Unnatural installed the new and improved software it stated that the dyno temp was too cold. Hmmm? So now he is getting new hardware hopefully by Thurs. Track day still Sunday. Last build/dyno was 300.2 RWHP at 12psi. (The apex seal springs flattened out...new new rebuild by Pineapple has beefed up springs this time) This time so far 284 at 7 psi up to 6.5 rpm. still pig rich. Moto is installing new front bearings, rotors and resurfacing race pads tonight. Also may tap and install alcohol injection tonight as well. We will get my EGT gauges installed by Thurs also. Hopefully after all is said and done I can get around 310 RWHP with the safety only alcohol injection, and it will prove reliable. Wish us luck. Also have to get the modified hood, modified bumper, custom made reverse V mount intercooler scoop, and fender painted and installed! No prob!!! lolol I just want to exit the chicane faster than I ever have!! At the beginning of last year I barely hit fourth gear on the straightaways...By the end I was hitting fifth. This will be my first track day with about 100 more HP. Cannot tell you how excited and pumped I am. Whats up!!??

I had a nice close call run in with the cops last night. Did a loop to check out the new wheel bearings and brakes, came around the bend a good clip, cop right there. By the time I stopped at the shop three cop cars where right behind me.





























Got a warning from the seargant, we need to fix your lights John. LOL

yah them there boxer motors dont like the high rev. a question that interests me is why on a down shift doesnt the rev limiter work. . . is it just not programed to or what cuz there r many badass cars that have lost their motors that way.

btw john the flame is fricken sweet! i luv it! im sure ur bumper doesnt but i do

In a down shift situation, fuel or ignition cut does not go into effect, the driveline and tires are what spin the motor past the normal rev limit.

Oh, I got some bumper cam stuff on my pencil camera that's pretty sweet. Will post it eventually. There was one flame that lasted the braking zone and almost two corners.
