I think you guys may be right on this and that highway driving doesn't give the low end any time to learn. I should go out for lunch today and cruise some. It seems as though every time I go for a drive and shut it off, then start it back up a few hours later it runs a little bit better. It's funny how this all works.... I'll report back with my findings as I rack more miles up on this thing. The top end pulling power now is at least equal to my predator. the low end into the midrange is still a little soggy, I still cannot spin the tires hardly from a dead stop. Hopefully this continues to get better and better.

Well, depends. If I do a 3000 RPM clutch dump of course it'll spin the tires, however it SHOULD spin the tires just by smashing the gas after 1st gear is engaged.....

Thanks,
