tony, kev knows what you are going to be doing with this thing.he is a very smart guy.i'm sure he will port the cub so it will makes the power where you want it.there is many things he has learned about these cubs and i must say that they work.as for a overide they are great.i have a 1-5 neutral down dunable but for the type of riding you do you just have to remember that they still shouldn't be back loaded at high rpm's.as for the lockup.the slingshot works very well but you need to remember to lock tight the 6 allen bolts or they will come out.believe me.lol.if you are going to run a lockup then its a good idea to have a overide
