Well, i remember Tracer did performance tuning. And i believe even TWICE! He was speaking highly about it. But it was done at a CAT dealer on a Dino.....

he did all that... gear change.. trans change... the "low resistance tires". me personaly.. think its BS. the way i think about it is that a motor is like a person. each has their own personality. just need to learn yours!
