Unfortunately no, that is with TwoBros system but without mapping done and without the flies removed - though it does match Kawasaki Australia's stock claim of 118kw/158hpI wonder if the shop did an adjustment to read crank HP? Trust me, I'm not asking for competitive reasons, it's just that 158 is far above any other pipe only mod. US bikes are listed at 154-at the crank-past stock runs are showing 130s, which is pretty awesome by itself. Big numbers are an attraction for more buisness and it isn't above operators to manipulate percentages. To be honest, I was expecting more, but as the operator had nothing to gain I trust his numbers, but I will be looking to validate what I got if for nothing else to satisfy my own curiosity..
But our fuel is typically higher octane than what you guys get (so I am led to believe) which I am sure also helps
Don't know to be honest, but when looking at the difference in the numbers (ignoring the numbers themselves) I'm pretty happy to get a 9% increase. Mind you, it is unknown how bad the bike was running compared to the stock exhaust - you'll see in one of the sheets the bottom end was very rich - so for all I know this map might have just bought it back up to normal par
Doesn't say specifically:

The higher the octane, the lower availble energy/BTUs.. High horespower is often coupled with high compression, which brings a need for higher octane to aid in retarding detonation, hence, higher octane. Take the FJR as an example, it has a lower compression ratio and a lower octane requirement, which results in less power.
A few years ago we had an awesome thread on octane, eye opening to say the least.
I agree %100
Not to be a party pooper but "gain" is really the number you want to focus on, which requires a base line run on the same dyno. There are just too many factors that come into play that can make different dyno's show different numbers...
I posted before reading ahead, again. But I left it in because it is nice to see us post the same info.
Well that's good to know
So after the dyno If I'm near 150hp I'll let it be
Seams like the ZX TBs are the next step.
