    OMG you are still around! Nice to hear back!

    Nice numbers, basically better than an STI back in those days.

    What's causing that dip around 3300-3400?

    I have no idea. I'm kind of curious about it myself. Unfortunately, due to COVID they wouldn't let us watch/be present so I didn't really get a chance to ask questions.

    I've been around lurking for the last few years but haven't had much to post. While there are some interesting builds going on, there certainly isn't the crazy energy there was here back in the first few years of the 818. I guess that's kind of to be expected.

    Totally agree! It's like when the newest iPhone comes out.


    As for that torque dip, is it too late to call them back and ask over the phone? Maybe they can remember, I mean you may waste 5mins of your life calling but to me it would be worth trying.
