Default
as much as I like that, it probably costs the same as a S8 when its all said and done.

Default All that to go from 6.3 to 5.9sec 0-60mph from a 113HP increase?
Yet you get 383 lb/ft torque!

Default The 0-60 numbers are deceiving though...I wonder what the 1/4 mi times are.
I'll bet the trap speed is way higher than a D2 S8. The quick little sprint is hard to get no matter how much power you put into an all aluminum land yacht! That thing will probably rocket at highway speeds!

Default Yeah, on the German autobahns it would be a rocket. On Dallas' uneven roads,
it will literally launch! :-)

Default What do you have against Motodyne?
I was going to have them do some work on my S8, any problems with them?

Well, I did a search, and there were mixed results. I am just looking for a shop that can do the transmission computer upgrade, ECM, and maybe an exhaust. Any other suggestions?

Default mixed results??? WTF??? Buddy, protect yourself.
That's all that I'm saying. Moto#%*$ gives Jersey a worse rep then it already has earned for itself!
