The M-series Engine Performance Master List

polemite.productions · Dec 30, 2009

This thread is intended to be a tuning and mod database for all SnoWest members. (hopefully it will be made a sticky)

Here is how it works:

Highlight the list below, copy and paste it into your reply, and fill out each field that applies to your sled.
let me know if there are any additional fields that should be added to the list.

Please keep your posts to the point. This thread could potentially get very long! if you have questions about a particular setup, please PM the member directly rather than posting here.

if this works well, we could start a suspension master list as also.
