So... about the dyno sheet? 140-160

The tach is the wierd thing, i had to disconnect my tach because it might have been one of the sources for my random ignition problem(more on that in a later post). So i was using their computer screen's tach. I did pull up to about 5800 one of the runs i think, but i thought i went all the way up to 6 on the other two. I don't know. Looking at it again, it seems that my hp peak is at 5100 almost. The engine fan i have on there i know saps up a lot of power, it is clutchless, so it is spinning quite fast at 6k rpms. I should take it on the dyno again after i take it off(and get an elec. fan) and get the timing set to where i want it. But, i'm quitting my job and that won't happen for a while. Next year i guess? I'll have a better intake setup then too, right now it isn't setup how i want it, it's just setup so i can drive it around with a filter in there...(and it's an older dirtier one).

As for the power levels being decent for stock ratings, of that i'm glad, maybe the new plugs, magnecore wires, modded SUs, and free flowing exhaust are helping a bit.
