I don't know wher the idea came from that the Carpenter 240 kit only makes power at high revs.

If you're referring to my earlier comment I never meant to convey that a Carpenter bike doesn't also make more power than stock down low but show me a dyno sheet that looks like this for a Carpenter bike... 225ft/lbs torque at 3.4k rpm. And unlike this chart shows, a Carpenter 210 won't have that 210 HP at 6.5k rpm either; it will be more like 8k rpm. Compared to a turbo R3 The bulk of the extra power on a Carpenter R3 occurs at higher than stock revs. Simple fact.


 
And in a dragrace the 240hp Carpenter bike will beat the bike that makes 225/lbs trq at 3.4k rpm

Agreed but I never dragrace. I sure have fun pulling away from a stoplight though!

YOU have more lowend trq than you can use pulling away from a stoplight you can only use part throttle even on a stock Rocket SO you enjoy the feel of the extra power but you never race anyone ?
 
my lushy moded makes 210.9 hp at 6.5k rpm

That's an awesome picture, no wonder MTC uses it for promo of their R3 fibers. Mine just came in the mail last night!

Interestingly, Bob Carpenter likes the stock clutch better than the MTC, I was surprised, he says the steel plates are made in Japan vs Taiwan for MTC, and are better quality. He said he also likes the stock connecting rods fine, he thinks they are pretty stout.
