On top end above 150, I think you would see the 14r pull right around the rocket..
Aside from the weight difference of 120lbs dry vs dry
the drag coefficient of the zx14r is .right around .32
the rocket is over .7-.8 to put it in perspective...a yellow school bus is more aerodynamic then the rocket is...
to accelerate the rocket for 150-170 is going to require 30-40 more hp then it will as compared for the 14r or busa for that matter...
Until I see a rocket go over 200 on a gps or dedicated timing event like Maxton, I dont believe it will even with a 240+ Carpenter package...
The rocket is a torque beast with the carpenter kit and pulls like a muther ***er up to a point...you can not overcome drag not even with its horsepower on top end

240+Horse Power/ 190+Trq/9000 Rpm vs 198 Hp/ 148? Trq/....his only real advantage is aerodynamics. You have 200mph+ , he doesnt.....run an agreed distance of about 1 mile.......game over, You win.again.....
