Today my friend/mechanic helped me with a boost leak and afterward we both left his place, he on his new bike and me in my Evolution.

After the rides were warm he unleashed his Ninja and I hit the gas too.  
I would say we went from about 40 to 90.  
To my surprise there was no kill.  
I pretty much stayed up with him after he got a little jump on me at first.  
Note: He just got the bike and has not gone through it yet.  
Note 2: I had a full tank of only 93 octane.🙂

So long story short, there was no kill but I put under kill stories anyway.

actually it is a 95. 😉

and i bet it will be better once the valves are adjusted, and proper jets are in the carbs.

I swear he said 96.:biglaugh:  
Yeah, a little tuning can go a long way with a machine like that.  
I will have to get some race fuel for the next run.
