Carpenter owners, help

[mexican]

I realize this is a few months ago, but did Carpenter reach out to you, or were you able to determine the cause of the hesitation/spitting? I'm planning on shipping my '16 roadster to Carpenter soon for the 240 build, so curious if it was something they did.

No, i did not, i pulled off the Ram air system that i installed, went back with the K&N 3 individual filters and the hesitation went away. I suspected t6he Ram air filter may had someting to do with it since the hesitation started when i installed it. Its all good for me now

Have you considered a lush build?
200+ and more reliable IMHO.

I didn't. Probably should look at all options.

Thanks, sounds like it was rather harmless.

Yeah, the only thing that scares me about the Carpenter Rocket is that if it breaks, no one wants to work on it and i have to ship it to them

That has crossed my mind...hopefully I won't feel the need to beat the piss outta it.

If you're not beating the piss out of it now, I don't see the point in more horsepower, worse ridability.

 

[wildchild]

Ok, I will beat the piss outta it so the hp increase is justified.

If you feel the need to beat the piss out of two hundred and forty horsepower you're a much gutsier & richer man than I!
