We put a 110 LSA in mine and it's not quite as happy say between 1200-1600 slowing down in gear. It bucks some now where it didn't before. I can still pull any gear from 1600 up with no problem. I'd leave it and enjoy.
Oh, I'm happy.. I know I could have made better "magazine numbers" but that wasn't the goal.. it fell in right where I wanted. A gain of 70hp and 80 lbs of torque.
