it's a 9.5"

it takes a good bit more pedal than the previous 11" CircleD. that one i could keep it around 2k on a normal take off all the way to lock up (38ish mph). this one is more like around 2600 to 2800 i think.

Yeah, too bad I work in a climate controlled machine shop, we're never off due to weather lol! My bro-in-law did some hydrographic surveying for a while, now he's doing road construction for Phylway. He's much happier out there.

i can't complain about my job though.
work or no work i still make a minimum of 40hrs a week
not to mention i've been off for 2 months but that could be attributed to the new born also...
