Level 10 trans upgrades aren’t cheap and if that’s not gonna cut it, then why bother, you can sell your 7at and recoup some cost... or keep it in case you go back to stock

Okay, maybe not that last one.

No level 10, an IPT trans....I need to be detuned for a while & learn the Z

I think that JC should go with the shorty antenna, not the stock one. The shorty has much less drag coefficient and should help with the top end speed.

A real "Professor" Irwin Corey. He'll either blind you with his brilliance or baffle you with his bullchit. Which is one and the same.

Hopefully I’ll get started on project over the Christmas Holidays, only I’ll be on call that long weekend for the fire department

Giving the guy’s a break from taking call all year; as I opted out in the early spring this year

WTF...This party got started and no invite or heads up for the brotha of anotha colar! That is just fine as I have crashed better parties than this one...and kicked out of my fair share too.

Well let's see how this saga turns out, wishing you the best and that everything turns out and is accomplished as you wish. Everybody be making progress and I am still in Purgatory.
