Buddy of mine, 220 suited up runs low 9.40's then rides daily on his, no NOS, or power adders. Gen II though
Dale Walker claims he ran 10.62 @ 129 in 1985. Street tires and bone stock which is pretty damn good. I've run 11.13 @ 122 on the factory Dunlop qualifiers. Stage 7, kerker and no strap. I went to the track last Saturday and ran 11.20 @ 120 3 times in a row with 1.81 60ft. I'm thinking of strappin the front end a little and puttin the wood to her a little more out of the hole. Dyin' for 10's without spray.
How big a shot are you running ? I had a buddy that had a stretched 89' years ago with minor bolt ons, stock rods and internals and he was hittin' it with a 60 shot with no problems.I know what you mean, I'm stuck at 11.21 at 119 but I'm a fairly big dude but I think even if I can 60 in the 1.6's it'll be tough to crack a 10 second et on the motor... I just really need to work on my launch for the spray, already went 10.53 at 132 and some change without hitting 5'th but I think I've figured that out now so 5'th gear should get me a couple more mph and if I launch it just right I'm pretty sure I can get it to go 10.20's on spray...

Also, the heads on the vmax are pretty forgiving for spray as far as chamber design and general structual integrity. I was kinda throwin the idea of a 30 shot around that runs off a throttle trigger but I want to be able to hide the bottle (snaeaky pete) style somewhere. I just sold my pro street gsxr a few months ago and have about 5 2.5lb bottles in the garage which are way to big to hide anywhere. Uh Oh, is this a thread hijack :biglaugh:I also have a 60 shot on mine, changed the head gaskets out with cometics and put arp head studs in it and did some really mild porting myself on them and had them milled .020" but otherwise stock motor with a Kerker and a Morley jet kit... I've heard of quite a few guys hitting them with an 80 shot too... On paper with my weight and mph it's only gaining about 42hp on a 20 jet (60hp) so probably a bit of overlap on the stock cams blowing the juice out of the pipes but it still runs very good for what it is I think...
Gary(turbovmax) old draw through ray jay used to run 8.60 @ 165 and that was a total mild mannered street bike on pump gas. I haven't seen him in years even though we live 15 away from each other but that's a whole other story. He had a small shot of nitrous on it only to cool the boost charge but i've seen that bike go high 8's on just pure boost. I always wanted to build a clone of that bike for street strip use. That bike was funny. He could do roll-ons next to a built busa and shit all over em'.....and that my friends is no b.s.I saw Rich Croce's Gen 1 go 10.0 @140 something.......I'm pretty sure it did break into the 9's at a later time.
Also saw one of Civetellos (MadMax) turbo bikes go 8.76 but don't think you'd ever see that particular one on the street, to radical and kinda wire tied together.

Wonder if we'll ever see another factory turbo bike?
Arctic Cat has kept a turbo four stroke snowmobile in it's lineup for almost 10 years now....177hp from an 1100 parallel twin, and a plug-in controller box will bump that to 220 instantly, totally friendly, on premium pump gas. That could be kind of fun should it get transplanted into a bike.
I think the closest bet is Kawi might put a low pressure supercharger on the 14, patent drawings have been spotted and they already have experience with supercharged motors from the jet skis
