MM, i havn't tried the LRP, what are you liking about those, i'm always willing to test with something new, the os plugs are just easy to get here in the states, and i've had decent luck with them, more so the turbo's. Have you tested any with the MSR 1005 pipes, i'm using a Bullit msr 1005 on the 7 and am looking for time to get another 5 broke in and trying the msr on it as well.

Trebor, Russell will take care of you on the carb, take care in how tight you pinch the carb bolt, a little less than what you may have done in the past will do, i have seen them overdone and this can cause the problem you are seeing, i'm not sure how old the 7 is that you have, does it have the circles in the composite showing through the sheild, i have seen this on all the GO's i have done, and have had no issues with the carbs in that manner.
