Are you having any issues? If you have a stock cam I think you’re in the ballpark. The needle is pretty solid and it sweeps the way it should when opening up the throttle.

My bad ive been kinda busy but can you look at my youtube channel with this link? I have a couple videos of the vibrations if you have any idea what it might be but i cant get the whine on video and its kinda inconsistent.
