GPW -
What elevation was your Dyno run made at? I'm at 800' above sea-level, and with Full exhaust, small-airbox mod, ramair seals, synth oil, NGK plugs, stock air-filter, power commander, 40psi rear wheel pressure for dyno run, 3014 miles on motor, 12.5.1 A/F ratio I made 171 rwhp on the dyno. The bike made 156 rwhp stock with about 10 miles on it for its initial run. Forget the Quasar map...Nothing against Quasar, but why get a generic map when you have all that $$$$ in the bike, get it back on the dyno for a custom map....add more fuel. Also, not sure if your running all short-stacks but it will add more peak HP, but it will hurt your torque down low.
Also, like yourself I have shaved a ton of weight off the Busa, and even though Im sure Im making the same HP numbers, the bike pulls harder on the street than it did before I shave off a good deal of weight, and street is where it is at...not the Dyno. So even if your bike makes 160 rwhp, with the weight you took off I think it would handle and perform better than a bike making 170 rwhp without the weight reduction. Everyone gets so caught up in this numbers game...look at the ZX-13.5, sure it puts out higher peak HP, but how often are you running peak rpm on the street? And sure the stock zx may take the busa in the 1/4 mile but by what...a few 1/10th's....ok, very important at the track....but if you take that lowered, raked, 1/4 mile bike that blisters the 1/4 mile in the 8's...its gona get spanked on the twisty stuff on the street.
Anyhow your bike looks great, you have some nice torque numbers, and with the weight reduction - I think you have a great setup. Leave the hp numbers game to other people, and enjoy the Busa for what you made it to be...Obviously you did not mod your bike to run the 1/4 mile.
