Yeah, running more than 1 season is usually a good thing.
i rate that pretty high in my book :smilewinkgrin:[/quote]
My motor has been running for about 2 1/2 years. I'm hoping to get at least another 3-4 years out of it, but hopefully more.

Yeah, but it's very conservative. Most of the retuning will be for the better airflow after I add the FD UIM and re-do the IC piping.
