Made it back to the 1/4 mile track friday. Got 5 runs in. First I have to say its quite humbling to race the 1/4. There were 4 other bikes, the slowest of which ran mid 9's at 140+. I'm still working out my carb tuning so I really didn't know what to expect. The best I could pull off was an 11.50 at 118 mph, with a 1.87 60 ft time. The last time I was at the dyno it showed 103 HP. since then I dropped the mains from 147.5 to 145's. The dyno still showed rich with the 147.5's. I did some comparisons with times/MPH before the muscle kit. I ran the same 7.40 1/8 but with just the pipe. my MPH was 95. With the muscle kit it was 98 MPH. In the 1/4 all the runs from friday were between 117/118 MPH. The best MPH before the kit was 121. I can't help but feel I'm strangling it on top. Instead of dropping the mains, should I try getting more air to it?
