    Slow returning to Idle?

    Thanks HOME< But I'm experiencing exactly the opposite of what the bulletin calls "NORMAL MODE" When I lift there is no engine braking as the engine continues to turn at 12-1300 RPM. I can't tell if it's mechanical (sticky throttle plate, dirty air valve sticking slightly open), electrical or a...

    News: K&N = almost 10 HP

    CADI. You can do the same thing with any vehicle and a dyno equipped shop that will let you change the filter elements between runs. Most shops charge between $75.00 and $125.00 for three "pulls" on their dyno. My results simply show the difference that exchanging the stock filter panels for...

    Help! Sound preference programing

    Can anyone tell me the correct procedure for storing the hi-mid-bass and DSP settings. I've tried just about everything on FM1 & 2.
