Carpenter Racing (seriously considering the 240 hp upgrade package)

[Steel]

I don't know what the tune looks like, but it pulls hard all the way to 9000. In 3rd gear that pushed the needle past 140 mph, and in 4th I only went to 8500 rpms, but it was still climbing fast.

Um, maybe in Harley shops, but Carpenter builds Hyabusas and such that go to 14,000, so that doesn't make sense.

I mean on the rockets that they do. They set the rev limit at 9000 rpm but the dyno readouts for their rockets they stop at around 8000 rpm.

Your dyno graph only goes to 8000 tho. So how are they tuned to run to 9000. That's what I can't work out.

The PCV only goes to 7000 rpms, so I asked about that. They said the map just carries whatever the highest rpms are mapped at through the rest of the range.

@Steel how many miles since the upgrade? And was the trip home on the bike quicker than the flight to Carpenter?

A little over 1800 miles since the upgrade. The trip home was a little slower since law enforcement frowns heavily on those speeds on the highway. Plus I was taking in the sights.

I have a wee bit over 7000 miles on my Stage one and it is running like a top. Can't wait for Maggie Valley
As for the power commander stuff I am no expert but if the map carries the fuel settings after 7000 maybe he made the extra fuel adjustments on the tune boy map. It hard to say there is a higher rpm map for the older rocket ecu's in PCV it goes to 20250 rpms. I am not sure about the new ecu's and the PCV maps for them. To be honest mine has been running so good I just turn the key and go

Oh I also must admit I miss the power of the blower added to Bobs goodies. I need to get on the falcon but I got side tracked and tore her down even further once I found a bad fork tube. Now she is in dry dock being used as a prototype for my next modification.

Ah, I thought you meant the dyno could only spin to 8000

300 N/A can be achieved with a mix of Carpenter/Nev Lush & a bit of English engineering. BUT
high horsepower is at high rpms so torque at lower rpms WILL suffer. UNLESS
You go forced to increase power everywhere, but there are downsides.
Or you could do both as I did but 300 ftlb of torque & crazy hp.
You can have too much power, you want to be able to enjoy it.
The beast I created will probably be broken up because it is too much for me,
that's why I ride the Bonnie now so be careful what you wish for.

SO you say that's not a workable combination for street riding and not practical

I'd really like to see the dyno sheet on that.
