I've used Mobile 1 syntheitc 10w40 in the engine and Redline synthetic lightweight in the tranny. I've used lots of brands as well. I found the cheaper non-synthetic oils, including Yamalube mentioned above, turned black fast. I typically change the engine oil every 5 hours though. I've ...

Wish I could have joined you guys. Sounds like fun with some frustration mixed in. Jenn and I hit some trails today. First ride since replacing all the balljoints...needed to test everything out before I go back to the dunes. I'd hate to get out there and find something wrong. May be headed to t...

Don't ask me how or why this works... but bump your throttlebody leakage to .5 and you'll notice that hesitation smooth out or go away.

I'll try to stop by sometime. Won't happen this next week. I am headed to BW tomorrow to pick up my front end and will try to put it back together on Sunday.<br /><br />My flow is 2200 but the map we created is richer in the map itself by 5%. The idea was to try and keep the stock settings a...

John and Steve have dyno'd the map over and over so I have a good idea of the AFR given that we all have like setups. I've suffered from a rich condition on the bottom and extreme top end likely due to altitude differnence. Nothing to worry about. One of these days I'll get it on a dyno....

AAHHH Vacation. The Holidays into the New Year were very busy for me. I was glad for Spring to come around so I could take some time off and play. Spent a full week in Moab Utah, another week in Southern California (Tijuana to Los Angeles and everywhere in between) and a few days at Little Sahara sa...

I use the seat of my pants dyno. All I know is that it's noticably more powerful than it has ever been. Last year was lots of trial and error in trying to get the worlds first 478 to perform the way it should in theory. By seasons end we had lots of people with strokers working together to make ...

I have my Moto front end with Brad now for new ball joints. I had a ball joint POP out on me while riding. If you have any play in your ball joints or tie-rod ends..GET THEM FIXED NOW! I ignored the signs and almost paid dearly. I was lucky and escaped injury since I was running at low speeds. I...

I too have more maps than I know what to do with. I've saved nearly every map ever posted, have the stock maps, and some maps I've created for the strokers.
