If I remember correctly your other runs with him they were longer no? Why was Gearbangin letting off the throttle so soon? Also you guys started by honking 3 times to just holding up fingers, why the change?

Cars sounded good though

Thanks! Yes it was longer, but this was the best we could do with the traffic in Mexico.

Lol my car is so loud that I could not hear the honks most of the time so we had to switch to hand signals.

More to come soon, car season has just begun!

Thanks! It's pretty even up until 100 MPH or so, this is when I start to notice the RCF starts to creep away.

Thanks! It's just the beginning of the car season, there will be more for sure! I believe Gearbangin should be tuned in two weeks along with the RRRacing tuned intake. So we'll try to run it again once he is!

RCF500, so after the PPE headers on your RCF would you say there was a difference when roll racing with Gearbangin?

You can watch my other videos to see, before in the higher gears, 4th+, Gearbangin would somewhat creep away from me, now I feel that my RCF would definitely creep away, my speed limit in 3rd is about 104 MPH. We may have to do runs from 90 MPH to 150 MPH in Mexico to see, but Gearbangin will have the tune + the RR tuned intake by then.

Agreed, 90-150ish will be telling to see how the cars breathe at that speed, especially if he is tuned with the RR intake, can't wait!

You guys should keep windows closed and just call each other on bluetooth to count it off.


If you get reception in Mexico, that is......
