Things didnt go as planned today, she sits naked and untouched today. Between fruit trees yesterday and physical therapy I am as sore as I can ever remember, but it's a good sore![]()
Once the weather warms up and the snow/ice clears I will be doing the infamous volume test. Some may remember the method used way back in '08, it involved tape and a 55 gallon trash bag. The imperical data is gone, I am hoping that Brian (BDF) kept the results from the various testers. The original test was about flies in and out at idle. What I would like to do is add the overall increase of a flyless, full AreaP, BMC, ZX14 TB vs the stock exhaust flyless bike. If Brian doesn't have the original results we will need a volunteer to record their results. This is best done on a cold exhaust, if I remember correctly Bob (aka Cap'n Bob) argued that a hot bike would result in a more accurate reading. In doing his testing he somehow ended up with a bit of melted bag around the stove knob. This test isn't for the faint hearted, Bob ended up buying an FJR, so use extreme caution, we don't need anymore riders going backwards on technologyHeck, it was so bad he started his own snuggy forum
Hope your throttle body change works as good as my Darkside/Cartire is working for me![]()
Keep us informed on your progress.
Just ordered the ZX 14 TB's - Son of Pappy it is all your fault!Dont forget to do the volume test before the swap
maybe someone will actually do a before and after dyno.......I also dont want to sacrifice anything below 5 grand just to pick up a few HP above that and like coomers, i like the MPG benefits of the full system/intake etc.....would hate to see that diminished for a marginal increase in the upper ranges......its hard to have it all......
nsrrider: Do you really mean you don't want to sacrifice anything below 5 grand just to pick up a few HP? Does that mean you wouldn't mind if it cost you over 5 grand to pick up a few HP? Lew
He meant he didn't want to sacrifice any power below 5,000 rpm to gain top end hp.
