Thoughts after hibernation and upgrades

I've done a bunch of Winter upgrades including Dansk pre-muffler, Dansk sport muffler, SteveW chip, shifter bushing kit, maintenance kit, heating sys revamp, various interior trim updates, etc. I took it out for the first time today to see how things were running and it was interesting. For the first 15 mins or so, it was definitely running on less than 6cyls. But then a riceboy got on my tail so i felt like opening her up and something strange happened. It was like the injector was clogged or something because all of a sudden it took off like a scalded cat. From then on, it was fine. Idle was better and acceleration was far far better than before the upgrades.

Some initial thoughts about the work i've done. If your 915 is feeling sloppy, get the shift bushing kit. It makes a HUGE difference. As far as the Dansk setup and SteveW chip, it's like night and day. I know Loren may flame me for this but i'm running minimum 93 octane and the temps aren't like SOCAL here. The Dansk + SteveW chip absolutely makes a noticeable performance difference that is not just "seat of the pants" but more like a kick in the pants. Consider me another satisfied customer.

Since i kept the tank full of 93 octane over the Winter and based on the initial lack of all 6 cyls running, i'm thinking that a shot of Techron is in order ASAP. Anyone agree/disagree?
