Well, Hughes sent my TB next day air, I got it 2 days early!! It looks
really good, honed out nicely, shaft has been thinned out, blade polished
(15% increased flow). I bolted her on, reset the computer, and WOW, what a
kick, this thing rocks, It is very cold and dry out, so that also comes
into
play, but my gut feel is, Awesome! And for around $150, its not a bad deal.
Absolutely no bottom end loss, feels like better throttle response, and more
power through out the RPM's. Easily a tenth, maybe more?? I'm stoked for
a 14.0-14.1 this Sunday! I'd be happy with a tenth gain :)

On a down note, I found out I can't race on the 26th, so I'll have to go
this
weekend instead. I wanted to have the Caltracs on, but oh well. Atleast this
way I can see what the TB alone netted me.
