another thing people can do is when they get there new engine, is remove the HSN assembly, and take the two washers and rub them on very fine sand paper, just enough to take the new off both sides, and put it back together, this will give a better seal, i do it with the new engines 08's anyway just because i'm used to it.

i am running a 08 3R and 7R currently and have zero lean or bog or inconsistant running out of the engines. I rarley move the HSN any, maybe an hour from box settings, and use the LS to get performance.
