Badboy, I've only see you belittle others accomplishments. Grow up.

Some, maybe most of those "refugees" were here long before you sonny.

I agree with DaveO. How many out there can lay claim to an 8 second time slip ON PUMP GAS?

Jason, have you had the opportunity to ride a ZX12R, and if so what was the ET/MPH??

I keep telling him about that heat shield...

You can probably make MORE than enough power on a stock length bike by just spraying and leaving the motor "untouched". The Schnitz controller would be the key to getting the power down efficiently, but it would sure take a helluva rider. I think Jason fits that bill...

Think in terms of a 4 valve motor and you will realize how big it really is.

Longer rods would just neccesitate a taller block with zero increase of displacement. A stroked crank actually uses shorter rods because of the limitations of the block height. Rod ratio is affected by the shorter rods, but from what others more knowledgable than myself have stated it doesn't...

The heat shields in Rajays are spot welded and will break away if no or low oil pressure. Did you turn the bike off just after riding hard? I would spend an extra few bucks for the stainless steel heat shield if that turns out to be the problem.

It might rev quicker, it might even net a better ET, but HP gains? I think not.

P.S. quite a coincidence as I also have been dragracing since 1979, and I also am 37 years old

I disagree, rushing to turn on the first bulb is unsportsmanlike, the second is against the rules in most organizations if your opponent hasn't even turned on the first. Recall what Paul Gast did for Rickey Gadson at a pro stock final, you may learn something about sportsmanship. Win at any/all...

Thanks for clearing that up, I wasn't aware that the Typhoon/Syclone had air to water intercoolers. Also, since a turbo cam usually has a good idle due to design I don't think the "smooth idle for emissions" was intentional, more like incidental. P.S. There are quite a few drag racers that...
