I have made a decision, it will be a Carpenter 240 kit.
My main concerns were a loss of torque in the mid range, which seems to not exist with Carpenters higher compression kit. I think their higher compession would compensate for the fact that most of my riding is done at high altitude.
I also like the idea that their HP is generated via torque and RPM. Less chance of drivetrain dammage than with a blown engine making the same HP at a lower RPM utelizing massive torque that probably can't be used anyhow.
I am not looking for extremely high speeds, honestly 130 or so is plenty for me. If I could get there in 8 seconds on a bike that is still a good daily driver, that would be awesome.
In all honesty, I won't do the Carpenter build until next winter. This winter I plan on repainting and doing some powder coating. In the meantime I will also ditch the stock exhaust and go with Carpenters and will also add triple k&N's. In fact, I'll be adding the 2780's next weekend.
I realize that Carpenter uses Tune-Boy, so I will need to get that. At present I am using TuneECU.
Can someone tell me if Carpenter also requires anything from Power Commander?
I am heading to central IL later this week to visit family for a couple weeks. Hoping for some decent riding weather. The metzler has a little rubber left on it and my riding season of over here in the Rocky's.
