Compiled Dynos, I was bored

Bob said he likes the stock clutch, he only adds heavier clutch springs. When I first talked to him about it years ago, I said it would be nice to have over 300 hp, he said, oh, you're looking at at least 350 or 400. I already have the 240 setup, so he said the cams and heads are good, but I'd have to change pistons again.

That green line looks real GOOD to me!!!
The red one way BETTER!
Nice work on this and very informative - IMHO!!!

Regards to the red line: Why the flat spot from 4200 to 4800?

I may not have found it, or it might not have been a picture that worked well to work with. Just grabbed a few to fool around so people could see generally what to expect in one spot from various configurations.

If you'd like more, I have a fair collection as well.

Shyt! I was doing just fine with my piddly little stock rocket with Paul Bryant headers, RamAir and Hanso tune?
Now I have severe and debilitating "DCE" (dynochartenvyitis) HELP!

If you can, DO A DYNO!
BUT, only if it's a Tune ECU tuner!
Forget the guys that only tune to a Power Commander.

Interesting, the 240 makes considerably more power than the 265 all the way to almost 6500 rpm. A drag race would be interesting.

I just pulled mine apart last week to change the lifter shaft. I also changed to the new style lifter piece while I was in there straightening out some boogered stuff. Anyway the clutch fibers amd steels are OEM and holding up well with just the stromger springs. This time I had it tuned with pump gas instead of race gas. And filters, along with my baffle. That way it was more realistic and consistent to riding on the road..

Talked to Bob Carpenter today, he has the hardware part done on the turbo kit, still working on the tuning.

I was there a little over a week ago and got a good look at the beast.

It will depend -- as with all the other extra power options -- how much power, and at what RPM you want it delivered.

As has often been said here, the motor as designed and delivered (especially for the Touring) is "under stressed" -- aka has plenty of reserve.

You can get a feel for this if you're student of all that is offered and comments. My guess, just as Carpenter's current offers, and TTS' current offerings, you can purchase a little or a lot.

And as to your question -- this or -- my guess you can get either: an improvement with no major engine work, or much more with major engine work.

And most mods I've seen also call for work on the clutch -- the whole system is only as strong as the weakest link.

THE Idea of a TURBO ROCKET is to have the ultimate ass kicking super cruiser with enogh HP to beat anything you run into on the road period and it will be a supercruiser tourer when cruising at part throttle on the highway and be totally reliable smooth and well mannered

I would like a touring turbo set up. I'd also like to know how much it costs. Is it a bolt on turbo or is there motor work required?

WELL the engine mods depend on the state of tune or the HP output desired ifyou want max power and performance youll need a BUILT ENGINE to deliver the goods on the other hand if you dont want KILLER HP you could turbo a stock Rocket engine BUT Im not sure they are interested in doing that at the moment

I was told that was where the big cam lapped from low to high. Trust me, when you're on the throttle you go through it so fast, you don't notice it..
