Carpenter vs Supercharger vs Turbo

[warp9.9]

Warp, at what speed or do you have vibration from the wind screen?

the wind screen does get hectic at 150 depending on wind speeds and directions. They can cause the death wobble. Because I was in Philly and headed back to central Illinois all I did was drop the hard bags paid my cash and started learning!!! Had a blast first time ever on a bike.

SCOTT came to Carpenters to visit and we took him to ATCO so he could try dragracing the beast and gave him a chance to beat up the sport bikes

At that point in time, Warp, what all had been done to the bike?

It's pretty impressive how little they have to do to a stock zx14 to break 9 seconds.

And the point is what? Oh, they didn't even have to *** with the engine to break 9.

I own a 200 rwhp Carpenterized R3 from two reasons; #1) Because I can, and; #2) Because by the time any assclown that I encounter on the road whom I want to stay as far away from as possible looks in their rearview mirror to see where I am, I'm already 100+ yards in front of them.

I don't know wher the idea came from that the Carpenter 240 kit only makes power at high revs. I have experienced more torque and power from idle on up and I have the dyno charts to prove it. I have overr 160 ft./lbs torque from 2500 rpm on up in a basicaslly, flat line!
My advice is that if you are goiung to do the Carpenter job...do the pistons as well.
Also...40+ mpg even at very illegal speeds which is only a plus.

Did you ever run a ZX14 at the track its not easy to run under 10 seconds even with mods I have buds that own them that never made any runs under 10 seconds on their modded zx14s even after 6 nights at the track Rickey Gadson is the factory backed PRO rider and the fastest guy on the ZX 14

YEP we love beating up the ZX14s with a big cruiser as they always seem shocked that a big Rocket could be so fast

The price of the Lush stuff is attractive, but I also like that you can use regular on the Carpenter.
