on the dyno i got the dude to try opening the VICS at different points
but for some reason we got some very strange results
if we open vics at 4600, massive drop in power all over the show, 5600 no more power and small drop off in t/q
at 5300, sweet spot

shut vics off altogether...LOST POWER EVERYWHERE. i think i made 87wkw on that run with out vics doing anything

so i have vics opening at 1000prm till 1800rpm then it closes till 5300 when it opens again...best results and i cant explain how it works, but it works
