Went out today on a five mile blast.
Had no airbox and no stacks on. The roar
Also had the ecu that I got off tree tops and my modified exhausts.
sounds f_cking awsome
Cant wait to get the airplate finished. then I will put in the 54mm bodies and convince the wife that I need a PC111
Had a slight flatspot around 2000rpm,after that it was grinfactor 9

Bit risky paddyz1 a small piece of grit or stone could do real damage to your motor.
Always expect the unexpected

Yup, the amount of air these motors suck in, that was a brave move alright, but I bet the sound was worth it!

Oh yes it was worth it. The exhausts I have been modding (paddycans

) were on so I thought "f_uck it", its been a few months since I rode her and as the airbox was already off I thought I would stick the renegade chip in and go for a quick blast.
The sound was beautiful from the cans and the roar thar cam from the airbox gave me a hard on
Got to find me a filter now and get the plate fabbed up.
