220+hp or 235-245+hp

[bigboy]

Getting a Carpenter racing package. I decided a turbo isn't suited for my needs. Now I'm trying to decide which is better for me.

I'm thinking 220hp package seems more reliable and I don't think it requires a secondary battery.

The 235-245 seems tempting but not sure if that hp is overkill. Especially since I'm dropping weight on my bike and keeping stock height and length.

I ride my bike daily and ride it everywhere.

Anyone have experience with these hp numbers? How does it feel

In the words of Tim Allen “ MORE POWER “

Turbo would you to 245 hp for cheaper and more reliably.

I chose not to because of added weight and power delivery. Looking for more linear power

The 220 whp kit sounds great for allround reliability , certainly once you get the weight down , the bike will easily be 1kg to 1 bhp . The Busa motor should remain bullet proof as ever , with good honest useable grunt .

I’d go with the 220 kit as well. Reliable and fast, especially when it’s lighter. Good choice. I’d ask first but you may be able to spray on top of it when you get used to it.

I didn't notice the weight but I live in flatsville, the power delivery made it some what manageable on the street, what is the purpose of the bike?

I'm wanna make a street killer all around formidable busa. I do daily riding spirited riding and cornering.

My goal is to get the bike to mid 400lb if possible.To improve stopping, flickability and acceleration. While also having enough power on the straights to keep up with current liter bikes.
