can you elaborate on the gear 1 too long.. how about the rest of the gears? I kinda like if the gears stay on till i gas off. for now mine goes from 2 to 3 so fast that even i am in a hurry so always got caught in low torque rpm range.
It just stays on the initial gear till almost reaching the redline even if I'm picking up at a slow pace. The rest are ok; just the initial push.

I'm 100% sure Wilson will be able to quote you. Another guy, SOC FANS should also have the ctc. He quoted me the last time I enquired. Why not try him? He's in SIN at this moment.
Zag, pls let me know if the CIP 21 cures the gear hanging onto 1st for too long. Very irritating.
for my 520 with lower power and torque, staying at 1, 2 and 3 longer is good for me.
i don't have that hesitation problem with hanging there longer.

Hi Zag,

Have you try out the throttle device? I know some of you guys are quite pessimistic about how this gadget works. But quite a few of us here have also installed and found it to be one of the best mod so far.

You can go to BVO (which is so near your place) and have a trial installation. It is so easy to install and take you only 5 to 10 minutes to decide if you like it or not.

Is it called the "Sprint Booster" where they fix some gadget at the gas pedal so that it "amplifies" the throttle? Costs ard $420?

For $420, sign up with a fitness club to build up leg muscle. At the same time, watch lean, sweaty gals working out...

Bro Ed, you name the time and date and I will set the place for booze session. It's been months since we had wine with eggz. Should make it soon so we can drool over Junior's new ride.

Guys, anyone else interested? RSLK or Bugs, great chance to use all the "numbers" you collected at FitnessFirst
