Im happy with the out come of this project. I went to the track fri night with a goal of just breaking 9's lol, I have never riden a bike this fast before. I made two 8 sec passes. Best time of 8.91@165. I was pretty happy with that for my first time out and im not a small guy either lol. Wish I hade more pics or vids to show, Ill try and post them as I get them.
 
That's an old pic right before the chain went on. I plan on doing the rear sets this winter. This build cost alot lol, but I'm happy with the end results.
 
I think my weight is going to hold me back from from a bigger MPH, but then again I still had the boost low on 1st and 2nd. I was nervous about spinning with 300 HP out of the hole lol. I was also only cutting 1.6 60'. I guess ill just have to wait and see.
 
Just curious what spacer gasket you used? I'm building my motor right now with wossner turbo pistons and all stock thickness gaskets. Are you using the wossner turbo pistons and a .080 spacer?

Gen 2 Wossner Turbo pistons do NOT use a base spacer. The stock thickness base gasket is what is used.
 
Powerhouse

Looks great. Congrats! My Busa is at Powerhouse right now as well getting a similar buildup. Cant say enought GREAT things about Frank and his tech at Powerhouse. Lucky for me he's only an hour away but I can assure you I would have traveled accross the country knowing what I know now.

Frank is a class act and just a great guy that can be TRUSTED!!!! He is a true enthusiast and is the most knowledgeable Busa person I have ever met and owns some badass street bikes and race bikes himself. GL with ur bike. Gonna be a handful for sure. Looks badass!!!
