I understand that, and I do like the new ones too, just like these a little more.

Got it on the dyno at Cincy Speed today. I highly recommend anyone bulding one of these get on the dyno and make sure the engine is running top notch. The guys at Cincy Speed specialize in GM tuning, especially late model LS based stuff, but they can tune other makes as well. Got it all dialed in and took it back to the Spegal farm for some offroad fun. Climbed the steepest hill I've ever been up right off the bat. Started having steering issues again after about a 1/2 hr of playing. Aparently I have some junk in the system and the valve in the pump is getting stuck. We'll get it taken care of. For now I'm just extatic that I was able to sling some mud around and for the most part every thing is working great. Just in time for riding season.

I think a commonly accepted loss through the drivetrain is about 40% on these big tired offroad vehicles. It put down 241 rwhp so thats about 400 hp at the crank. Not bad but I was expecting a bit more. It'll get the job done.
