Im sure I'm "that guy" asking the same question that's been asked thousands of times, but I have a few questions, and I was hoping that possibly some experts/sponsors could chime in.
I picked up a 13 busa with very low miles, all stock, unmolested. As a former Toyota mechanic and Toyota school grad, I appreciate good engineering. First and foremost I'm seeking to maintain long-term reliability, as opposed to a building a racer. Although I can r&r just fine, I'm certainly no engineer with their depth of knowledge.
I also realize that EPA and noise requirements potentially muzzle these bikes from the drawing boards. That said I just ordered a full Yosh R55, to shave some weight, get some bark, and trim up the girth. I certainly don't want to lose performance anywhere.
Yoshimura states on their site that the "race series" category of systems (which R55 falls in) are designed with power increases and performance at the fore-front, to paraphrase.
Sorry to drag on, but if that's the case, does anyone know if their R&D is based on bone-stock examples of bikes, including mapping? Logic tells me yes, as otherwise too many variables would muddy results...
I ask because I'm extremely hesitant to undermine a team of Suzuki engineers and let an unknown or unqualified entity have at my ECU. I don't want my bike to run like crap, and certainly don't want a hot tune, leaning stuff out , that'll kill my engine prematurely.
Can I expect power loss anywhere in the powerband, just throwing this system on, and calling it good?
