Hi, Guest
Well... it's done. Stockfish honoured their dirt-cheap quote to install it.
It's on. Wow, does the SPI ever like to rev now! :lol:
And, of course... we got s**t on with snow today pretty good. So the highways are covered, streets look like farmers' fields, and the extra punch and responsiveness makes the first KM or so from the dealer to back home... interesting. :D
The belt's a tad tight, but they said to give it a day or two to see if it stretches a bit. If it doesn't, I figure I can get a slightly longer one on.
It doesn't really charge fully below 1200RPMs, but then again it's not like not having ANY charge at all. The headlights and dash dim a tad, but that was to be expected.
Overall, the giddyness factor has definitely increased. A simple blip of the throttle makes it really rev now. Remember that pause that's induced by the IMRC at mid-range? It appears to be gone again, or at least well dampened by the increased desire to rev. I tested for that specifically - briefly but specifically.
I hope the roads clear tomorrow. I plan on having fun on the way to work. So much for the extra gas savings :D
Oh, and starting with the trip down to Toronto this weekend, I'll track the gas consumption and let you guys know how it does - good, bad or indifferent.
