I'm using the Willwood kit I bought from Dale, I use it with a 7/8" dual
reservoir master without a booster and it works great.
Every year Jay shows up at the Queen's English show at Woodley Park and he
makes a point of walking through the tigers.
Every year he says that he had to sell the one he used to own because all
tigers overheat, they all have dangerous steering issues and they all
handle terribly.
Each time he says this a knowledgeable tiger person corrects him and tells
him that there are certain upgrades that can done that minimize or
eliminate these issues.
That said he did a really glowing video segment with Mike M's tiger the is
posted on the Leno website.
