I'm just angry cuz I've done all the bolt ons and won't hit near that lol! Maybe if I did an aggressive tune I might lol :P But I'm not holding my breath, the tune alone would cost the price of those 2 parts

Haha, I agree!!

Just found out my right rear tire has a small puncture wound in it and that is what is causing my leak. It's a small leak but still noticeable over a week. I'm going to fill it up Sat AM and hope it holds out just fine through the cruise. Been driving on it for the past month or so now so I'm assuming this shouldn't affect it. I'm thinking of going with the Super Sports this time around, the tires alone are 5 pounds lighter over my old RE760s! But of course they are a bit more spendy than the RE760s, but I will take the weight savings!

Any thoughts from others? My sizing of 285/30/20 limits it a bit and I'm not sure if I wanna drop to a 275/30/20 since I love how my wheels in the back sit now....but I will have to do some looking.

I have to get a new battery...and install the b*tch before Saturday or I'll be riding w/ someone. The battery is official 100% shot in the G, wont' even hold a charge after its running and shut back off. Have had a trickle charger even on it and STILL won't start. UGH....oh well, time for an Optima? I'm thinkin' soooooo!!!!!

Keep in mind, you def won't lock up as easy with the 275's....but they def are easier to chirp!
