Okay everyone,
though I am not new to riding by any means... I am only 1.5 years old on my '06 Bus. So far it is bone stock. I love the canyons and, with the help of some serious track riding friends, have gotten decent at handling the Bus through the corners (understanding that it is a bus and not a 1K'er). I would like more HP for my engine, but the truth is that most of my daily riding is CA desert hwy. I have adjusted my stock suspension (thanks to this forum) to accommodate my rather large @$$, and I am much happier with the way it performs in the canyons. I understand that if I go with an entirely new suspension I may cut more time off the canyons, but I am also very happy with the stock suspension on the hwy. I am 45 years old and, though I have fun in the canyons, its just fun for me. I have no plans to "take over the Malibu canyons"... I just want to have more useable power. I understand that a pipe and PCIII are my first considerations, but are there additional mods I should consider that do not involve disassembling the entire engine? I would like to see my engine RWHP in the 180-190 range. I have ridden HD most of my life, and I am so happy with the comfort and stability of my Bus that I will never go back to HD again. As well, I do plan on a CA to TX run this summer, to visit my son at Ft Hood.
