...makes sense to me. Maybe the mechanics I talked to know what they're talking about. After much grief dealing w/ the Freak/K&N setup I finally went to the boys @ RPM Cyle in Dallas. First thing they told me was that removing the airbox was not a good idea, basically because the CVK carbs worked better with it. After a few jetting changes and re-synchronizing, all is well. I may have dropped a few HP, but nothing noticeable. If I was really looking for blazing speed I'd probably get a Daytona. The problem is, @ 54 I can't figure out a way to decrease my reaction time.
