Exhaust and minor mods versus cylinder head change out?

[IMFASTTOO]

From what I've seen posted on here you should be able to get to the 150 - 160 HP range with a good exhaust (Reband or Carpenter type system), an upgraded intake, and a good dyno tune. Don't know that I've seen anyone go to 170 HP without some engine mods

YOU can make 165 to 175 hp with a CARPENTER pipe ,Intake and a Dyno Tune

If I was going to spend that kind of money (for 210 horse), I'd go the full monty for 240. Oh wait, I did.

Hi I'm considering Carpenter Racing kit for my bike .How is yours ? Did you have any problems with it ? How many miles you put on it so far? Thanks for help

Best money I ever spent, no problems, better have a back rest on the bike if you do it. I have around 11,000 miles on it.

Have you read this post on the 'Rocket III Resources' thread?



So with a set of Jardines (or better), Nev's 'baby street cams', a Ramair filter and a Nev tune - you are there. Sounds like a bargain to me.

I have something similar but added Nev pistons giving a bit more compression I will have it tuned in two weeks and expect to see 200bhp

As noted here many times it is possible to get 165 with Reband exhaust, filters and tune. Worst I have done with that exh is 162. Please not also the exh mentioned by battersea above was on a classic. I reckon if that bike had a Reband it would do close to 180.

WE had a bike come in with the REBAND pipe and it made 153 hp on our dyno nowhere near 180 over here

We have made over 200 HP with just cams lifters springs kit no porting no pistons

Sounds like the SJ2 kit

I know the feeling, I'm up to 7 registered and on the road, my barn is full, I'm going to sell a couple older ones to make room, I want a new Trophy or R1200RT.
