240 Tire With Turbo ?

[LeDauz]

OK, so I got some questions.

Anyone running a 240 with boost? If so how much?

And what is everyone's thoughts on having to cut the frame with big HP?

Never had any issues with my bike. Ran 11 pounds of boost making 300 Hp with a Rc Components 240, 10 over kit. Notched frame for 240.

here ya go lol..... personally I'm not a fan of a big rim and tire on a Turbo bike. too heavy and robs you of lots of HP.

So no worries about the frame being weaker with the notch?

 

[VIPER]

Rubbs running a 300 rear tire on his turbo busa and he's loving it

for most ppl the HP lost isn't that big a deal cause their doing it more for looks then power anyway otherwise one wud run a 190. but if ur makn 300 whp and now makn 280 that won't mean much to many cause 280 is a lot for most riders anyway

The multi chain thing HAS to be a strain on the transmission. ESPECIALLY under high boost.

The OSD is a way better setup than the jackshaft setup.

Years ago we took a 240 kit off a turbo Busa and picked up 25hp.

Was that the only change made?

Yes sir.

I knew bigger tires robbed you of hp, but would have never guessed that much.
