    Hydrotec machined reed cages?

    I'm packing up stuff to send over to Hydrotec and I'm a little confused. They're going to machine the reed cages. I always thought those are the wedge-shaped pieces that the reeds mount to. However, I could see where they may modify the plate they all bolt into. Anyone know for sure? If not, I'll just call tomorrow. . .

    Ok, cool. I'm shipping them and the TB out today. Hopefully I'll have the motor mounts and tuner changed out and powerhead back on by the time they get back.

    Thanks. I know it's a lofty goal, but I'm shooting for 95 mph. Right now I'm at 88 with the heads and modified airbox. I'm adding the tuner, reeds, machined cages, big bore TB, and a 30 TXP prop.
