Thanks it's been a long battle with the heat, especially in this climate, the Northern atoms probably have much less to worry about with the heat as their ambients are typically so much lower.
The seats are moved up about an inch off the back wall BUT, my seat has to be moved up further than that for me to fit anyways, and to help out my passengers I removed the footrest so they just basically moved up from economy class to first class with regards to legroom.
as far as power..well I raced an R6 yesterday, twice, I won one, he won one....I think we're almost dead even, and for now this is enough power.....for the current tires (a048's) the power is reaching their grip limit on acceleration in 3rd gear, so, IF I ever go for more power it will have to include changing to slicks also, which probably means upgraded uprights and upgraded pushrods...which is why I'm so happy with the exact set up as is.
I'm curious as to what the IAT2's will hit on track also BUT, in order to interpret the data we'd have to know how much time you have to stay above those temps for the computer to pull timing.
On my dyno runs I'm at 17 degrees timing, 0 knock, we tried 19 degrees timing but it had a hint of knock and no significant power gain, so we went back to 17.
