    What performance mods/combo's worked best for you?
    Any Tunning tips? Best timing? Carb your running? Lift of cam/ lobe seperation? ect.
    What kind of milage are you getting w/ your set-up?
    I'm building a daily driver/shop truck/ parts hualer.
    But would like it to atleast be able to run down a honda...
    I also have a 750 double pumper on the shelf. To Big?
    I know I can lean it out some, but do ya think I could lean it out enough?
    Anyway, any input would be appreciated... :)
