It's a pretty intense install unless you know exactly what to do...


    That's maybe $75 in tools, cheap.

    You want to be at the top of the RPM in your chosen gear when you trap.

    Do you even know what kind of times you'd pull to run a 130mph trap? Many 12 sec rides only trap mid 100 teens.

    Then how would a 4.10:1 limit you to 80mph? This does not make sense.

    The 130mph was with a 6000rpm limit, 30" tires.
