Thanks for the reply and advice! Nice rides you have there as well. I too am an ex drag racer (from quite a few years ago...) and have worked in a machine shop for a bit (plus a M.E. degree). I totally agree with letting the guys most familliar with the specifics to do the job. Buce Meyers is not too far from me (well at least during racing season) and has a good reputation for the 2V's.

I'm more looking to keep my bike reliable for now as I learn to go faster racing. The $$$ spent on engine mod's would be less beneficial until my abilities are outweighting the bikes abilities (i.e. more $$ for track time,tires,etc.). For now if I could prevent any unwanted failures that would be the best thing. My race bike is a 99' SS750ie. Stock engine except for slip-ons, airbox mod, K&N and a remap from Bruce. Until my times drop a few more seconds HP won't really do me much good. But knowing that the bike won't be "letting go" out there is one less thing to cloud my brain while tring to drop those times. She is regularly at redline and only see's the track, anything you recommend to look at this winter before next season?

Thanks again, Cheers
