Graeme,
Thanks for the reply. My 05' speedy is setup as follows.....
Your pipes
uni filter
bottom of airbox and uni opened up
snorkel removed
rejetted to TBS needles shimmed to mimick the length of the stock needles with one shim and 130 mains
AI removed
I'm estimating i've gained probably a minimum of 8 HP and probably 1 or 2 more than that judging by your tests and what snorkel removal felt like and what the rest of the step by step gains i've gradually gotten felt like compared to removing the snorkel which your tests showed gained 2 HP. Now what i'm dying to know is this...
1)-will i be able to simply swap this cam with no other tweaks or adjustments besides rejetting (which is to b expected)
You will need to have your valve clearances rechecked upon assembly - thats it.
2)-will i have to send my old cam to you (afraid to hear the answer but i think i know after reading the part about the spring loaded noise quietening split gear assembly)
You will certainly not have to send us anything except perhaps your visa card number!
3)-approximatly what will the price be
Not determined at this time, if there is change from $900US we will be very pleased, please remember these are not built up re-ground items but a difficult to manufacture pair of drop in steel cams with no core charge or downtime included in the deal.
4)- the BIG one...how much of a gain do you think it will get me with just what i've done so far and no other mods
8-10bhp with a 20-ish% gain in torque throughout the range - without the post 5000rpm fade
PLEASE answer all of the questions if possible, tho i realize you won't necassarily know #3, but a ballpark figure would be nice at least. Thanks.
I`ve answered as accurately as I can in the meantime, once we conduct further testing on variously tuned bikes , including std. bikes I can answer more accurately.
Thanks for asking though, cheers.
