@scannon92 it better to have 285 sae hp than 301 at full boost whit the risk of blowing up the gasket!

@magnum9987 Should be no problem, the SV model has a 4" wider and 3" longer cockpit than the standard 7. I've had passengers taller than 6' with no complaints. I'm 5' 8" and I have to slide the seat about 4" - 5" forward to be comfortable on the pedals.

@scannon92 Would it accommodate a dude 6 foot tall? I know those are tiny........

@VulcanNut90 I bent up four aluminum U shaped brackets that bolt to threaded bosses on the back side of the I/C end tanks and the other end of the bracket bolts to the radiator side flanges. The radiator is mounted on rubber bobbins that isolate it and the I/C from the chassis.

@caccios It dyno'd at 301 RWHP although I have since dropped the boost and it is putting out 285 at this time.

sounds like the revs was building on its own

@turotufas The timing was set by guess and was a little off. There was also a small vacuum leak. Both of these contributed to a high idle. Both were immediately corrected and it is set to idle at 1,250 rpm.
