Re: OST-047: Skippy Replicate

cool to see a clean street FX16. Sad to see this one get 'unplugged'

so this is a 10.7:1 TVIS bigport .....with TVIS working ?
Torque looks beefy(for a na 1.6) from down low. Would be interesting to see a stock torque curve overlay/comparison
I'd imagine the FX drove strong?
