First Ride: Intercooled SuperCharged R3 with Nev's Cams and Jardine Header
I spent hours trying to enrich the "L" tables in the stock SuperCharger tune. At wits end, this proved almost impossible without a dyno. Finally I realized I had "L" tables that might be better suited to Nev's cams and the Jardine... in MY RAM AIR TUNE! I dropped them in, leaned out the low throttle trim to adjust for the MUCH LARGER injectors, and VOILA! The result isn't perfect, but is WAY closer than the plug-cracking-lean stock SC "L" tables. If anything it's a tad rich averaging 12.5 A/F. So I finally got to give her a real test ride.
With the weather a bit colder now, whacking the throttle in 1rst gear rips the rear tire loose for as long as you hold it. Second gear rolling WOTs will lift the front wheel with aplomb. The bike still needs to be tuned, but the main fuel tables are much closer than the "L"s were. Instant throttle response at any RPM, any gear. No loss of torque below 3000 like the Ram Air... and when you hit the torque curve at 3600 she goes like stink in warp drive all the way to 7000. From 4000 to 7000 the R3 with IC SC pulls like a Jap Superbike does from 7000 to 11000... if you twist it you better be ready to ride. IMHO, with tuning, there will be nothing to fear from stock Busas or ZX-14s.
It's also amazing how well the torque is now distributed throughout the powerband, enabling twisties to be munched with ease. No more worrying about RPM like the Ram Air... there's torque everywhere. Very few RPM glitches encountered for an un-tuned bike. Can't wait to dyno tune her now that she's rideable!
No *****in' about the unpainted white fairing:
