Wonder if that will move my CG back and put more weight on the rear wheels?

You just might be on to somethin' Are you gonna start with a stocker or do a little tweakin' ?? BTW. whats the stock HP and Torque numbers? As far as CG goes it will change things some. not only front to rear but it looks taller?? This might just be a dry/slick MONSTER..... Keep us posted...........Ken
