Super 8 / Re: Increasing performance on 2012 super 8

soooooo yellow spring? I could go for a stiffer spring right now just because when I approach a hill my revs are waaaayyyyy too low. Hopefully 8g sliders and a yellow spring will be a good mix with what I have.

I am going to order sliders and a yellow spring soon. I will post about all my deretrictions and performance in the next couple weeks.

max PSI on the tires says 32 PSI.... If I am going to get sliders will I want to get 8-9 g then? I've heard that the sliders act about a gram lighter than rollers. Yellow spring?

From previous posts I have seen that the yellow or red spring would work. I know that the yellow spring is 20% stiffer which would help you get higher revs/lower gear up hills.

$10 digital pressure guage from walmart. seems to be pretty accurate when tested against my Acura TL's TPMS pressures. Did have a tough time getting a good reading from the rear tire though. Not exactly sure why.

Is there a device that feeds fresh air into the exhaust in the super 8? When you removed it did you leave it off or reinstall it

UPDATE: I am still waiting on my jets and then have to find time to install them. However, I got +4 MPH simply by optimizing my tire pressure.

I am going to get a new contra spring and new roller weights. I need a new spring regardless because by hill climbing is sub-par but would putting new weights in a stock var be worth it? and if so, what weights sould I get?

I tried taking the snorkel out of the airbox and dremeled out the opening. This caused me to have fine takeoffs but would nearly die after 10 MPH

what weight sliders do you recommend? I plan on performing the exhaust mod, opening the airbox intake, and I have an 85 and 90 jet at my disposal.
