General thoughts about the performance.

This setup runs well, could possibly be richened up as it's a bit lean, but no problems yet (no debris on the plugs hah!). Just put the gears in a few days ago (from the stock 57/63) and it has made an improvement, again don't have any numbers (track speed etc) yet. As a secondary note, if you have not yet taken your DD apart yet to check that inner bearing, you need to!
