How much does the rider weigh? You will give him all he can handle, as long as you don't spin the tires.
Keep us posted. I'm looking forward to hearing how this turns out.![]()

prolly about 220-240lbs. Yeah, that will help me out too! I have to re-sign with the army this week, and when my bonus check comes in....its moddin' time! I might run him pre-mods then see how I stack up with about 80 more rwhp

I'm still on the fence. I'm waiting for all the turbo cars out here to get all the way done before I make the decision of TS vs. STOriginally Posted by Gene

I did the port then a month later I did the Whipple.
Don't waste your money on a port. I am very happy with the Whipple.
But my goals for the car are to run in the high 10's in full street trim so the Whipple will do, but a turbo will give you much more potential.

I raced a Yamaha R6 on the interstate from a 35 mph roll. He was riding at my door and said, whenever you are ready just go. Well that was the last time I saw him. We went to about 100 mph and I let off. He stayed just off my rear bumper but never came past me.
We got off at the next exit and he was shocked. He never seen it coming and did not think that I had anything for him.

Stupid me tried to go against a Busa from a dig....not pretty at all. I jumped him a little :angel:, but before I was going to shift into 2nd gear, I see this dude bust out a wheelie & OWN me out right!
Would of had an R6 that the rider was a newbie, if the track wasnt slipperyR6 = 12.6 to my 13.01 @ 70mph.
A big guy like that on a 600; you got him covered.Originally Posted by vicious781
I've yet to see a turbo project car come together. I know several that have tried to build up kits, spent big money on twin turbos and all kinds of stuff, just to have it all evaporate when the shop dissolved.
There are a handfull of strong running single turbo's out there, but they are supported by a huge sponsorship and a full team of tech guru's.
For the "average" guy, I think it's just too far out of reach.
