18K/10K mod question

For those with the 18K or 10K mod, what do you feel when you flip the switch. Just got through installing mine and the butt meter didn't feel a thing. Trying to figure out if it's a loose connection, but the daylight is going going gone.

I'll try to fix it tomorrow, but just wanted some opinions of those who have done this mod. How much of a difference do you feel when you flip that switch?

An easy way to tell is to hold the throttle at about 1000 rpms and switch it on. It should jump your rpms about 200 rpms. Switch it off and it should drop back down.

I have a 10k and a 5.6k switchable. My Butt-O-Meter smiles on the 10k and really grins with the 5.6k. Good puff of black smoke with the 5.6 off of idle floored.

Guess it's a bad connection then. My rpm's don't jump at all when I switch it, and I get the same light haze smoke that I've always had when I step on it hard.

Kwik-I was going to post and ask a question but it looks like you did exactly what I was going to ask about. How did you set up the 5.6k and 10k switchable? I have the 10k now, but no switch and wanted to add the 5.6k and a switch to switch between those two and stock. I was just wondering how you did it. Thanks.

LOVE IT!!!!! I just installed a switchable 10K mod, krieky mate, very cool! I made it so I can easily plug and unplug different modules to find the resistances I like best and then use a completely switchable set up like kwik. All I can say is that my butt-o-meter says AOK! This mod is very noticeable, and that's even on top of the performance setting on my Diablo flip chip.
