I think he is the only guy that has had the Carpenter Racing kit done to his bike. I don't think he got the SC to work properly. Warp9.9 can offer more info.

I sure like the looks of that new megaphone header they have. Gave them a call.... $1200. I may be giving up my Jardines if anybody is interested.

HI 9r ROSS is not the only ROCKETEER with the STAGE 1 kit but he was the only one to enter the BRUTE HP SHOOTOUT and he didnt have the SC hooked up that is next on his list BUT he did win and he had a great time in the process good to see a ROCKET KICKIN BUTT

Lets see about some pictures
First let me introduce Ross aka Freeky One and his 06 Tribal Cardinal Red Beast and remind you the blower is not hooked up yet as Art stated.





Ross and his beast getting tied down



Ross setting the beats up and having the tech set the rpm for a 8500 rpm run





His First place Dyno sheet



His 8500 rpm spin



I must add in the qualifying round Ross made 3 passes 243hp, 244hp, 243hp
they say the kit for this beast makes it a sleeper and in some ways they are right!
But not when you fire it up as the ground around you just vibrates as if you are standing next to a stock car. But as you will notice the dipps in the horse power starting around 75 mph that is on loss of traction as the rear tire bust loose on the dyno then she hooks back up and well see how fast it regains its normal but yet high horse power climb.







I met Ross down here in 07 one of my first big rides on the Rocket thats one of the great things I find about the events meeting other Captains.

They are Triumph standard head lights with Hardley brows on them. there was two other Rockets for the run one developed clutch or week knees the other was basically stock and ran because he wanted to. Good feller from Ga white and Cream Classic and some great airbrush work on it.
Mine well it would have been in the open import where it would have had its ass handed to it by the 500-600 hp Nitrous Burning Monsters. I had my fun on the I95 race/highway









I am thinking Gold anodized intercooler/radiator and the intake plumbing should go well with the chrome whats your opinions?
