LOL, sorry, for the confusion I have added all my vehicular Bogan news into this thread The slammer kit drops the whole bike about 1.5" and firms up the suspension Plus the OEM stuff is shite, this is "apparently" a little better -

Booked in at Craigs to get the transmission tuned to suit the new powahs. From talking to a few different people, and the googles of course, not adjusting the transmission tune after power mods can be a sure-fire way to reduce transmission life. As it only costs around $500 for the transmission retune it is a no brainer to have it tuned to suit. -

After a quick squirt with brake clean and some flat black rattle can action, I present......stealth mode It's still wet but you get the gist With no actual hands on prep, the fisheyes on the hoee clamps, and a few missed spots behind a bracket or hose, it is just like a Holden quality paint job...poor quality IMO it does look better than before though -
And a LS Nanna would want it that way

I needed to pop back in to get the speedo calibrated, it was set to whatever the stock centre was. I called and talked to Spiro and he said pop in whenever I was available, I said I am, he said bring it on in, so I did, he also stuck it straight back on the dyno and tickled the tune a bit because he wasn't happy with the idle when off throttle. Excellent service Everything is GTG now, plus I just took the long way back to work It is nice and whiney, on the throttle, but not overly, you can only just here it in the cabin, which is nice, outside, it sounds The car cruises like a dream Coolant temps, on the stock gauge at least, hasn't changed, even when I was sitting in traffic for 10 minutes trying to get off Parramatta road As for bonnet clearance, it easily fitted and there was no need to chop up my new under bonnet liner thingie, winning.... I might paint the trans cooler black to hide it a bit -

So, the dyno results hey With the blower at around 5-7 psi at it, it got to 317kwatw and about 950nm... So a gain of about 47kwatw, but a extra 500nm of gearbox destroying, rubber laying torque From talking to the tuner though the final kw number and shape of the curves can be taken with a grain of salt because of the highstall slipping, and stuff....... yadda yadda yadda......meh........it's all black magic to me On the road, it's a freight train, I could only give it a little hit, but the before and after difference is, well, big My next thing to do is revisit Craig's Automatics to adjust the autos tune, so it locks up a bit sooner, "or something" then hit the strip to see what it really does in anger Overall, on day 1, I'm happy and haven't broken anything, yet, well, apart from traction -

Years of running and carrying a pack ended up screwing up my lower leg muscles, in the end when I was walking long distance the compartment stuff (sausage skin) that covers the muscles didn't stretch enough and the pressure started to cut off blood flow to my feet. Should be all good now. In other, more boost orientated news: the car is booked in on Monday for the charger, again, it cannot come quick enough, I've had to change the dates for getting the charger installed twice already, once for work and once for the surgery. This time next week should be fun. -

My dear, I believe you were also using common sense I tried common sense once, me and common sense never really did work well together, maybe due to the "stupid boy" paradox -
