Oh yeah!! I love that

Soooooo..... I went out and tried to find this "kick" everyone is talking about. I guess whoever said it's your powerband kicking in had it right, because aside from gradually pulling harder from that point on, I didn't really notice anything. And Joe, you're just pissed because....um....lemme get back to you on that

The pick up was always there on mine. It is just now more noticable since the intake and exhaust have been done. I know you have both of these done too so I can't explain it. Must be the diff between atx and mtx.
