They do fine work on everything but 3800's.

Their cam specs are decent, at best. The independent 3800 vendors have MUCH better on-shelf specs than comp. Sorry, but they don't. Their cams are ground incorrectly on the snout resulting in a high failure rate. Yes, they know about it. No, they don't care. Many have told them about it and mysteriously all of the exact same failures are "install error." But what do I know about 3800's? graemlins/thumbsdown.gifgraemlins/doh.gif

They grind cams incorrectly anyway. Stay away from Comp.

I disagree. While the overall size of the throttle body may not need to be upgraded, the shape and air movement of the LS1 throttle body leaves something to be desired. While he will benefit from being able to force more air into the motor, his biggest gains will be from making the entering air much more efficient. Shame on you Nate, you should know this very well. Our blowers work off of the same principal. Essentially, you are saying that you shouldn't change a stock supercharger on our motor because it will support 400HP. Yes, it will in stock form. But you know very well that good gains are had by having a ported blower installed. Efficient air is happy air, and you are only as good as your weakest link. This is why I recommended the second throttle body. It is obvious to me that MUCH more care and attention was taken to improving the shape of the throttle body for the sake of efficiency, and not just hogging it out.

I agree, Janzter by far.

Sent. I have pics, but it's a PITA to get them since they were on my old laptop and I haven't sorted everything from the old drive yet.

I think I've decided on what I want now. Thanks guys. Special thanks to Hoblick for spending some time with me today. smile.gif

Hmmm... didn't he spray the ever living shit out of it? PM me with all of the details please. I know, I know. It's shallow. But I want something I can ride now and not have to worry about getting paint work done, etc. I'm the kind of guy that has to have all matching gear too, and everything I have is blue. tongue.gif

Okay, so I'm more confused now than ever on what kind of bike to get. I had my heart dead set on a Kawasaki Z1000, which is a bike that I vastly enjoy the ergonomics of. But I hate the colors. Orange, lime green, and red on black? What the fuck. I was almost ready to buy an Orange Z1K from a guy in Wisconsin that is a smoking deal - until I saw one today. I sat on it and I could tell right away, I hate orange. I sat on green ZX6 they had there for shits and giggles. It reminded me of sitting on puke. So, down to the red on black. This is the only bike that I can tolerate. Tolerate? If I'm going to blow a bunch of money on a bike I'm not going to "tolerate" it. I want to LOVE it. They have decent silver for 2005, but I am not ready to buy a brand new bike. So, I guess that knocks out the Z1K. The guy at Hinds was trying like hell to get me into a Triumph, but I fucking hate UK bikes. No. So he got me looking at a few others there that were okay, but nothing really spoke to me. The closest thing was a Kawasaki ZZR 600, which was a cool bike but it's only a 600. He says they make a 1200 version of it, but they are new and not very popular which means I would probably have to buy a new one. $11,000? No. So I'm again lost in a sea of ignorance about bikes I need someone to throw me a life raft. Here is what I know that I like. This is more detailed than my last thread. Help me. 1. I like the more "upright" seating position of the Z1000. The slightly lower but still "touringish" position of the ZZR 600 was very good too. (To aid in your understanding here, the riding position of a GSXR 750 made my back want to jump out of my body and beat me with a tire iron.) 2. I want a blue bike. Mid to very dark blue, but it's gotta be blue. I like the blue on the R6 and R1, and on the ZZR. 3. Gotta be a 750cc or larger, preferably near a 1000. I want something to grow into that I will enjoy for a few seasons. I know that I will grow bored with a 600. 4. Prefer fuel injection. If it's an older bike, or just plain fantastic than I'll go with carbs. But I understand the principals of fuel injection way better. 5. Cost effective. I'm not ready to buy a new bike. I want to find something used, and in good condition. If that means going back into the mid-late 90's I'm okay with that. Even if it means not getting FI, that's okay. 6. My riding intentions are to work, the store, friends houses, pissing around with the local bike people on weekends, etc. Not really planning any kind of stunt riding or any of that. I just want something nice to piss around the city on, that I can keep up with a few of you guys that I plan on riding with this summer. I appreciate everyone’s help as usual. There are just so many choices out there and I have no fucking idea what to look for. Thanks. graemlins/burnout02.gif
