im sure its been asked a hundred times before and will prolly be asked a hundred more times later, but its the decision between the two which lies before me and i must make a choice soon before my head explodes.....much like my engine did a few weeks back
i have never ridden a bike with either mod, so i dont know diddly bout which one would suit me best. personally, im kinda leaning toward the 220HP 1397 kit via capenter racing because i think it would be
1. reliable
2. longer lasting...not as much of a strain on engine parts verses the turbo
3. less of a headache....that may fall in with reliable...always seems ppl w/ turbos have bad luck w/ em
4. much easier to tune....no need for diff maps because of diff boost settings.
5. i like to top it out for as long as possible...think i heard this wasnt good on a turbo???
6. drivability maybe an issue....and i dont want a stretched swing arm
some of those may not be correct, but like i said, ive never ridden a turbo bike so all i know is what ive heard.
all i can think the turbo has going for itself is that you get more power for about the same dough?
im guessing a turbo would be about $4500 tuned and ready to ride....the carpenter package is the same but thats if you drop off the bike and they do all the work. i think ill just send em what they need and have a qualified mechanic close by to put it all together and tune it for me which should be considerably less.
anyways, lets see what everyone else thinks.....
