Had a great day yesterday during our 8th of 10 points race this season. Finished 2nd moving me from 5th place to 3rd place. It's possible to move to 1st in the next 2 if #2 and #1 go out by the 3rd round and I can finish in the top 2. Keep your fingers crossed.

Unfortunately not. I did go from a 160 psi guage to a 200 psi guage and it would go into 5th but not 6th. A friend told me to switch to a compressed air; a paintball air cylinder and it would fix the problem. He says it will have 140 psi for every shift, and last 400 shifts probably. I've just heard of 1 or 2 people having problems with it not shifting in cool weather, so I don't know what I'm going to do. I can't go into it until the end of the season since I have so many races left and not enough time to dig into it between races.

Good job brotha! Keep choppin em down! I love seeing our 'little hondas' beating the 'big' bikes.

I just got my first top ten (8th) in the expert GP race at Barber! Was more stoked I got into the low 34s consistantly!!!! I've been stuck in the 36s for awhile.

Congrats to you also! I don't have the guts to go as fast as you guys/gals do in corners on a road track. I would be poking compared to everyone else being; afraid the bike would go out from under me. I give it up to you guys/gals doing track days. Straight line racing is good enough for me.

You need to keep the bottle warm or pressure falls off. You can do lots of things (ever seen a moron take a torch to a bottle of nitrous?) and NOS even makes bottle heaters you might be able to add to the cylinder to keep your pressures consistent.

Yep, that would work; and yes, I have seen people do that, my co-owner used it for his wet system, but he also had a gauge that showed red/yellow/green for when it was right. Thats a good idea, might do that if the cyclinder will fit in the trunk like the bottle does now. I have 2-1lb nitrous bottles in the trunk now with the compressor, one of the bottles is the air for the shifter.

Good luck SB...you're one of the few Honda out there draggin!
