a 33% boost is HUGE.

My Q's were also mild but smooth and quiet and reliable. I did not want to mess with them. Of all the CB's I've had I miss Q the most. That really was a good riding and a good looking bike.
That's for sure. The Q's were in a class all their own, for a CB. I really enjoy the heck out of mine.

Regarding modding the RX3, it's a habit of mine since I was a kid. My oldest brother (who was my wrenching mentor) said, "The factory hides all the power inside. It's your job to let it out." Like you said Doc, "tame". I'm hoping something can be done for that someday.
