I got Humped this morning

[MN72Busa]

And I will say it didn't feel very good! I was comming home from work, and almost home when it happened. I decided to roll the throttle on very hard in 1st gear, & Gretchen accelerated so violently that her front wheel came up and sent me backwards only to have my lower back to be greeted by the top section of the Hump. Felt like I was punched in the back, and took me off guard.

The weather is getting colder here, and think the Busa is making a few extra HP, as I have done this same hard acceleration several times before, but this time it felt like she had more snort than normal. I was thinking since I weigh 210Lbs that I couldnt be thrown around like that, but man my lower back proves otherwise. Could it be that colder outside temps gives the Busa quite a bit more power?

Scientific reason: Cold air is much denser then warm air. Cooler, or cold air holds more oxygen per cubic foot. More oxygen in the intake “chargeâ€￾ yields more power developed in each combustion cycle. Thus, you’re getting more horsepower with the same or better fuel economy.

Yep, that's why turbos have intercoolers.

Hey that is what the SPEED HUMP is for to keep ya from flying off the back under the hard acceleration of the BUSA !!!!

I slammed the hump once super hard when I snapped into 2nd gear at about 11K rpm OUCH! but I still smiled ...

Yep, colder air is better. At least you didn't tell us you're powdering your nuts with Gold Bond like some of the weirdos on SH.org
