with a s/c, you usually have to retard the timing from the stock setting.

ha, that rules now that would be a video. I used to have a Suzuki TL1000R, their v-twin sport bike and before i removed the emissions valve, it used to do the same thing, bwaaaahhh, chop throttle, BOOOOM, outta each can, cars would always give me thumbs up and stuff at nite.
