Probably a MS3Pro Evo. I've had some good hands-on with those in my turbo Zx-10R and like them a lot... and they support "cam" timing sync with a map sensor right out of the box.

Pics of the rods and pistons... Pistons were off the shelf Carpenter turbo spec, and I sent them to Swain for TBC coatings. The rods were a custom affair from CP: I told them 9500 rpm and 500hp max, and this is what the came up with. 
I'd say the thickness on the beam flanges is quite a bit thicker than I'm used to seeing on most CP rods.

Outstanding! Hopefully they come by and say hi at some point when we aren't scrambling from bike to bike.
We will be in the big yellow Diamond T box truck with a couple of absolutely looney turbo Harleys somewhere in the area....

Little exhaust ****.... should be pretty loud with that distinctive stainless ring. I've always told people it sounds like a forklift dropped out of an airplane when it's WFO in boost. My buddy was just screwing around when he turned the pipe up (we are going to run it straight out through the back fairing when it goes on)...... but my inner hoodlum really likes the high pipe look.

I did last year, but the MPH will be too high to run them this year (hopefully). I have a set of Dunlop Qualifiers (the 3's, I think...) on there now that I have a 17" rear wheel. If it starts setting records over 200 I'll probably have to move to a slick (well, a non-DOT race tire.... and that's pretty much a slick).

We were out there at 2021 Speed Week on the @Justdad Team 21. We did all our runs on course 2. I did not see the Turbo Rocket out there. Did I miss it ? I did see a yellow funny looking truck just a few pits down from ours. Went over there a few times to visit but never saw anybody there.
Did the Turbo Rocket run ? How did it do ?

It was a rough year! Jay had pneumonia and we spent 99% of Speed Week laid up in the Red Garter nursing him back to health! That was a bad time to be walking around with a respiratory illness, if you do recall.We were out there at 2021 Speed Week on the @Justdad Team 21. We did all our runs on course 2.

Sadly, the bike did not make it out to speedweek. The OEM ECU started quit on me after about half a dozen reflashes about 3 days before we left, so I was out that. I sold a kidney and did a M1 series MoTec to make it out for the BMST event... came home, wired the whole set up and tuned it in under 2 weeks, and the ****er spun a rod bearing on the dyno the day before I left. I have to eat the responsibility for that one, as I ****ed some things up with the oiling system while trying to thrash it together between meets. Very expensive lesson there. She will be out this year though... so long as nothing dumb happens again.

I've been remiss in my updating duties, but life has been busy keeping me humble in new endeavors. Not always a pleasant or affordable thing, that.
That being said, here are some LSR updates for this year... hopefully out on the Salt for SpeedWeek and BMST this year. Adding a little fairing for the MPS class; maybe see some 200+ mph fun.
