Duke,

Congratulations on getting the tiger back on the road with its new
teeth. Take it easy and take your time getting to know that new
envelope.

I guess after you have done a few miles might be interesting to get
the car down to the dyno and do some final tweaking with the motor in
the car. Are you still running the stock filter housing with a K&N?
Might be worth getting a housing with a drop filter base so you can
get a bit more air into the beast.

As for dubber.. Dunlop D1 Direzza Star Specs are nice.
