How much is it gonna hurt HP?

I was going to say that even stock it launches hard, but yeah that elevation definitely kills hp. But turbos, and super chargers even the playing field.

Bare Truth: Bob builds drag bikes that we ride on the street.

Cam size is dictated by compression, RPM and power goals.

Just call the shop yourself and tell him your goals and budget.

If you’re doing the work yourself don’t dismiss Neville’s options.

60 foot is 99% rider skills at launching, mine are trash

Fastest way out of the hole on any bike, hold it very high rpm and clutch it off the line, power level doesn’t matter.

Watch the pros.

I can’t do it, don’t want to learn, I like my clutch thanks.

A bit fat area under the curve bike with lots of torque everywhere is really the forte of the triple design.

First, manage expectations, the 240kit is really a 220whp kit on pump gas with air filter in place.

The kit HP claims are made based on oxygenated race fuel use and no air filter used. Mine for example did 246 on pump using the Brute pipe that it was tuned for and 240 on pump using a different pipe that it wasn’t tuned for yet. That’s a 265 kit bike.

Second, you will lose 10-15hp up top, traded for more torque below 4500, in the meat of the street riding area. It will make the torque peak a little lower but breadth of the curve wider.

The CES on a big carp bike are a very fun ride, I speak first hand. It’s fast and easy to ride. I had no problems rolling on quickly from 1800 RPM, no huge gap in low end torque. It won’t make 150lb-ft at 1800 RPM like stock cams, but really, you won’t miss it in the slightest if you like to ride quickly.

If I were guessing I’d put the torque below 2K at like 130-140lbft, by 3k 150lbft, by 4k I was at 152lbft and from there it just takes off.

I can do it, but freight would be a killer.

Actually I didn't think the shipping was bad. With the currency exchange rate, it mostly covered the shipping.
