I've read the article about the motorcycle guy. Sounds like I should start running it up a little bit

Hahah well I've had her up to about 120 now WOT from a standing start. So much for "break-in"

Tune still needs lots of work. It's real lean down low, don't get much power until I hit about 3500 RPM. I'm also running 18* timing max, still set there from the Radix tune. I took some videos. I'll have them posted in a few minutes.


Oh, 96# injectors = 35% IDC at 6200 RPM WOT hahahahahahaha!!!!!!

HAHA, I knew that was going to happen and was going to ask you about it ! You need som BOOST!

So how does it fell compared to the radix 6L even thought the tune sucks?

It feels good but not great right now, but I think it's going to be very comparable once I get the tuning straightened out. As good, if not better.

Here's the video links. Stupid optimizing.....hopefully it won't take long


Start-up & idle vid

Part throttle run

Part of a WOT run
