120 Horse Setting

As crazy as I was in my younger days I've got to marvel at this. DP's 120 HP setting actually startles me. I was merging onto I-85 this afternoon and nailed it just for the Hell of it, looked down at my speedo and was going 95 mph before I could even get over into the fast lane. Wow, I have yet to fool with the 140. But to merely say I'm impressed would be an understatement.

If it gets any cheaper I am going to do the Texas 2 Step. You see at Exit 63 it's gone up 12 cents since Friday afternoon?

I am and I know Mark is. Probably not the smartest thing I've done, but come to think of it, I don't do a lot of smart things.

I just had mine rebuilt by a friend a few months ago. The correct parts I hope and a shift kit. I can only dream about a BTS or John Woods. If I get another 100k out of this it will outlast me. I had the stock one redone at 96k and it let go at 203, so I am sort of holding my breath.
