Yes, I can relate. Nice steady flow of hp. Mid to top end definitely has its kicks now. Like I told the owner, "...if this power was here from the factory, we'd be paying a higher price...". I'm glad it's an option now. Enjoy yours b/c it's even more fun now.

Hm.. It's really interesting that from my place in Alameda to The Junction, is exactly 86 miles, across my preferred route of some of the best driving roads in the bay area. Coincidence?

Yup, @Clipdat and I are meeting at Giant Burger (750 Doolittle Dr, San Leandro) at noon to do a quick loop of Redwood rd. for lunch. It wont be a full run (no pinehurts, etc), since I'm only doing it on my lunch break. Others are welcome to join.
