I don't spray out of the hole. I did not have the green backs for the Caltracks. So I rolled the dice on some cheap traction bars and won.

On the street it hooks alittle better. It goes stright now as well. Before I would spin 1,2,3 gear before it would hook. Now it spins 1 and 1/2 of second gear. So alittle better on the street.
Pictures please! and summit part number too!

where did you get that from? from what i can tell nbs 1500s & 2500s share the same part number.. also the G in the part # stands for black, that explains that. So 3-2141R would be red fwiw..

Mike, my guess is G stands for Graphite, as in another name for Black. I figured it'd be a B, but ya, u get the picture.
