I'm in need of some recreational riding, I'm not sure I'm ready for the 555 on my new bike so was curious if you guys has some suggestions for roads to work my way up on.

It caught me off guard also. Going from the 820cc's i had before to what I need for the next go around is painful

I can't over state how much the fuel system is often over looked. If your going E85 just build everything to be 50% larger then you planned.

This man speaks the truth! Once you drive something long enough it feels slow.

If you would like to take a ride in my turbo 4 i'lkl be at the shop most of saturday and could take you for a ride after im finished

My family is dealing with a very similar issue and have found the legal options to be lack luster at best. Its very hard to get anything done it seems. Good luck!

My wagon @ 370whp is a BLAST to drive. To each there own, imho its not all about HP. After I upgraded the suspension on my 03 wrx my first thought was DAMN i should have done these mods first.

If you get a roll Christian let me know I wanna try it on something. just need a tiny square

Have you considered Denatured? I know guys use it and get lower IAT's. You can pick it up at home depot. Seems like Calcium build up is the big issue. Destilled water ftw. http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/295699-IAT-Comparison-VP-M1-vs-Denatured-Alcohol

I didn't know that about the heat. Nice, As for the blue stuff no clue I just know tons of evo guys do it and swear buy it. I've not seen anyone have a pump fail aside from the 100% meth guys on pumps not designed for it.

Not sure how I missed that my bad. I'm pretty sure we've picked up M1 from Jegs in delaware in the past. You can also get boost juice cheaper if you give them a call and order a case at a time if you decide again self mixing.

This is damn near the truth. He's a cocky bastard but damn he's a machine when it comes to LS builds.

I missed Jones piece about blue juice. Fail. Jegs in Delaware I'm pretty sure has M1 In for Jones next mod. 5 Gallon Meth Tank.

I try not to think about the whole pavement thing. It makes me want to sale the bike and make the car even faster..... Heading to iron pony this weekend to upgrade my gear some.

Mark posted that a injector oring failed on injector #7.

That's not even a fair list. CTS-V hands down but G35's are fun to drive

I know I know its bad to not use boots but i find them to hurt my feet. I always wear my brain bucket and a leather jacket when i ride.

I'll be tossing it back on the dyno to get an idea where afr's are at and go from there. its a addiction to mod things . I'm upgrading my brain bucket and getting some new gloves. I've never been into riding boots.

Those Engineers have constrants to deal with such as emissions and the ability to run on 87 octane, Since I've freed up the exhaust with the baffle delete and plan on advancing the timing and running 93 octane, I should be able to extra more power out of the bike. Keep in mind a engines tune has to be designed to deal with the lowest common denominator. I'm using the term tune very losely here. I come from the EFI world so this whle carb thing is new to me. But in the end its about gettnig the right AFRs / Timing combo Here's an example of a BONE STOCK 2010 STi I did.. Stock VS Tuned.

The Jet kit is under 100$ the timing mod is free minus the time to do it and the KN Filter is 60$, If i pickup 5 hp that's a 18% gain plus having the piece of mind of knowing my AFR's are where I want them. Since taking the baffles out will lean the bike out the jet's are needed to safely support this mod. I can't help it I mod everything. My daily Driver is modded and the gains it made with parts and a full tune where small. That's 600$ in parts for 13awhp. (Tuned by me)

Part of me says don't let your child make stupid mistakes. My sister did almost the same thing, She got a Old Alero for graduation and the trans went out. We put a new one in and it got a small coolant leak. Instead of having it fixed she sent the car to a junk yard for 500$ bought a 89 Taurus they blew up 1 month after getting it....

Evo if you wanna mod it Golf R if you wanna keep it stock

Tried to PM you about a quote for some work your box is full

I'm an old member to this site but got rid of my old bike and stopped posting. Then I got a chance to pick up a Shadow 600 for a helluva price off my parents. I never thought I'd enjoy a Cruiser style bike but I actually like it more than the Katana I had. My dad took great care of the bike and even washed/waxed it for me when i picked it up. mods so far: Windshield Saddle Bags Baffle Delete Future Mods: Jet Kit Intake of some type (Hypercharger or KN) 4 degree timing advance So far I've dynod it stock to get a baseline.
