ok, I'm waiting on the pipes to come in. Then I'll measure them and order the torque inserts.

old poor racers trick that works well at increasing torque. Smaller front. Bigger rear for the win! Among other things... Like the DK TTI

Rentable space

In todays world of getting things done you can now rent a stall in a garage to do the things you would like to without the exorborant prices of labor. Look around their out there,,,, and then a nice cam and "TUNE-ABLE EXHAUST" and there you go, low end where you want it.

All I really need is enough umph to make low-low rpm torque good enough that the engine doesn't struggle under all the load. If I can. If not....
