Hey bhai!

Hi Randy!

Wayne-- I'm not positive but, do you have to reprogram with a intake change? When I got my Blackwing, I was advised to drive the car a couple of hundered miles and it would relearn the new airflow pattern.

Just a thought, I wasn't sure if VR affected the car the same as BW... no need to throw $$ away on a reprogram.

I'm going for a ride on the bike.. hope you guys are here when I get back.

Hi Dave

Sorry I missed ya--hope you enjoyed the bike ride

Thanks Jack... Took her for a over 50 mile run today on the interstate. Did the speed limit, well close to the limit anyway. It seems like she has a lot more get up and go when I jump on it and it sounds great. She is going to sound better when the headers get installed. And a street tune....
