i got a -1 +5 and it was an awesome bottom end gain.... but at 70mph you'r looking at almost 6K rpm. also make sure to do something about your speedo... mine is way off and the faster you're going the worse it is.....

Yup, I did -1 front and +2 rear and my speedo's off by 10 mph at 90.....which put me at about 78-80 realistically. Definitely invest in a speedo healer.

definately replace your chain I can't believe they told you to just add links. I did that to my F3 and I was sitting at 6-7k on the interstate or hwy.
