It was a very different ride. At about 130-140 it got a little loose in the a$$ end, but north of 140 the thing settleled right down. It honeslty felt "faster" @ 120mph in my boat than 165 in the Nortech. The thing wants to go fast...and that it does very well. I refuse to give any credit to the driver....
Was it a 36 super cat ?

A little loose at 140? I would have needed a personal laundry change.

Spekaing of valve covers...can I have my $ back? I mean they look pimp and all, but you can barely see them cuz of Eddies elaborate coil pack configuration. By my account you should refund me my money as you were already aware of Eddies setup...ok great..sounds good.
