  Hello DAKsters,

  Bruce! This is what I was hoping for - real, live input. I would
still feel better, though, if someone besides JET would post some dyno
numbers. Manufacturers ALWAYS seem to exaggerate their claims. By the
way, HyperTech says they are on the verge of offering a Power Programmer
for the R/T...
