Thanks, Darren
Mine seems fine now and been playing a little, REAL HOT here so not a lot of time on it but 50 a day or so. The BC is just awesome and my top end is way open now I do over a Ton every day I ride on my play bridge and now I do a Ton Twenty and got more for sure and it goes there a LOT quicker. I was having some Idle issues and had a huge setup issue in getting it set but all seems well now and the above result sure shows it works.

I think you need to install it, get it close and ride heat/cold cycle the new TB a FEW times before you bring it to operating temp by riding it, then let it cool and go for the final adjustment. I don't think starting it cold watching live view and adjusting it is enough as all intrnal parts are not heated and expanded enough to simulate real riding conditions, again I think a few heat cycles are the answer to setup issues. I mean it is a MASSIVE TB and it needs to become one with the cylinders Honorable grasshopper. I mean it has to vibrate/expand and the seals need to seat and expand a few times until all that aluminum mates up and finds a home. Just my theory on set up issues, because with enough messing around they do set.
