Shifting at 4700 rpm and going both ways on flat ground, I got an average
of 16.4 seconds in my Boston Bob stage 1 head mods, haltech injection
system, and stebro muffler and Castrol Syntec 5/50w.  If I was a better
shifter, I'd shave even more time off it.  BTW, I have a 4.57 r/p and
didn't get to 4th gear.  Speedo is within 1 mph of true.  90 GL with 179k
on it.  Agilis 61 tires.
