more boost doesnt mean more power.you wanna flow more.if your head cant flow,then all that boost is doing nothing but generating heat.you can be on stock head with 15 psi and i can be on my ported stuff with 11 and still pull you.

no you dont do where the rotors are.just the inlet,TB and head ports.when/if you do the head,stick a napkin or paper towel all the way back by the valve.This will prevent shavings from going in the cylinder and when you pull the napkin/paper towel out,it'll pull all the shavings out with it.I dunno how much i took off to be honest.just went until everything looked nice and smooth.Be careful with the TB.only do in front of the butterfly and in back.Dont touch where the butterfly actually seats.

idk i just keep hearing that sportlines are kinda harsh at times and i feel that if i'm putting more money into suspension i'm not just gonna get springs again when i can get the adjustability of coils too.. idk we'll see

There not that bad, no better than the FE1's stock suspension. I have them and didnt really notice a difference in the ride quality. I also changed my FE1 suspension completely over to the Fe5.

i call BS on this statement.. unless you just have a "extremely rare" set of "smooth riding" sportlines my buddy i bought my winter steelies off of had sportlines.. i did not care for the ride much at all.. hence me going with a different brand spring..


not trying to start anything.. just differences in opinions i guess
