Wolf Racing 68" Naked
A few shots of our 68". Consistent 8.2s at 180mph. We're making a few changes and going for a seven in the next few months.
We are now rebuilding the bike so I'll post a few shots as it goes back together.

This is "Little Brother" just before we made the tank and seating change...
This is the new seating postion with remote fuel tank between swing arm.
Air shift bottle mounts up front.

Fantastic looking bike. What is your elevation there? That is a lot of mph, for sure.
Did you say you were spraying over 100 hp on that 1427? What has been your experience with rods? What do you recommend for that kind of power?
I have a set of prepped stock rods here that Falicon did for me, but I was thinking about some aftermarket rods...depending on how much hp I shoot for.

hey Dave,
lotta work in that bike for sure!
any reason you are mounting the N2O bottle so high?
I'd a thought you would get as low as possible??
Wolf Racing is a VERY serious effort. Hats off to you guys!

Thanks for the interest and compliments. We're a bunch of close mates and family that just love our racing and Kawasaki's. To be honest, we love being the underdog at meetings with our Kawas. Hopefully a ZX14 entering the tent soon.
My mate Monkey (our lead mechanic) owns a workshop that specialises in race bikes. I use to own an importing business, Wolf Racing Power Products. We close it last year. Too much other stuff going on.
So you will here a lot of Muzzy, JE, Schnitz Racing etc. so I will from time to time sound bias.
But, what I do say is built from the experiences of our gear and many others we have help. We've built lots of HireBuses as well.
We've run a lot of training sessions for drag racers and we have sponsored Road Race ZX10 and two ZX250s sponsored in the nationals. It's been interesting to use some cross development.
KZScott,
1427cc, all Muzzys gear (block, cams, etc.), JE Pistons, Muzzys/Schnitz Stealth Progressive Nitrous system. The bike was opriginally built to show off the Muzzys gear for sales. Little Bro is a 2000 model. We broke the motor for the first time a few months ago and are just getting round to rebuilding it. Pistons and barrels, head, have done 5 years of service with no drama. Only one set of valves in that time.
The lockup is just a two stage Muzzys.
The interesting thing with this bike is the standard parts. Valves, buckets, ECU, Thottle bodies, injectors, gearbox, rods, wheels, are all standard issue.
It's gone 230hp at the rear wheel with no gas. We've run a 8.7 at 160s all motor without trying too hard.
On gas (130 shot) we've gone 180mph regularly. We've been making 40mph over the back half of the track. Our 60' times are low at 1.4s. We're not turning the gas on until about 100ft at this stage.
With the standard ECU, we can only rev to 11800. The motor could go to 13000 so the current set up doesn't strss it at all. Big things still to come from Little Bro.
We haven't seen the real effects of the seat height yet as we torched the head first time out with the new seating position. It will take us into the sevens. We'd like to have the fastest nitrous 12 on the planet!!!
shane661,
We were always told not to spray so much gas with our set up. We haven't had any problems. the recent torching was our own fault. Rectifier was faulty and we knew it but still ran the bike down the track. Battery went flat and boom.
We use standard rods in the Pro Bike. No issues. Waste of money doing anything else. We've tried it all and went back to standard. No issues with the other rods, just didn't need to move from standard.
entropy,
bottle is at the back in the swing arm. no problems. we just make sure it's at 900 to 1000 pounds for the run. the bottle up the front is for the air shifter.
did you get the clearence info?
Woppi,
your right, we are going back to green soon. We had an arguemnent with our K sponsors last year so we painted them red!
Just so you all know, we may have a lot of brought gear, but we make a lot of our own gear as well. We're big on testing and trying to innovate with all our different racing efforts.
Again, thanks for the interest.
Wolf

I can go high 8.9s in real good air, by the 1/8 miles I have posted, or at least 9.0s.
Sounds like you need some help on the front end of the track.

NOX,
Yep. We haven't really been too focused on Little Bro but yesy, 0 to 300ft needs work. Just for info, we don't run any data logger on this one.
Happy to listen to ideas and try things.
At present, we launch at ,6500rpm. Flick the clutch out and ram it to 100% throttle. 1.4 to 1.42 60'. From 60' to 330 is slow. We are going to start the nitrous off the start line once we've rebuilt it and have a real go. Any info would be helpful.
Cheers,
Wolf

I am about to leave, just got off the phone with Scott, he is fixin to get some real good ets.
PM me, and I will holla back at you tomorrow........., I sent you a pm btw.
Data loggers are great, but I can set up a multi stage without one, they make it easier, but its not total rocket science.........
For comparos, I am out 60ft ing you, with a stock motor, and a shinko........, and did only a couple. hun worse than you with a single stage........
Check your pms

Cheers. I'm not shy and we'd appreciate the help. We decided to take Little Brothers performance very seriously this season while we build another bike. LB is then going in my living room!!! Our season is from September to June. There's a few Suzuki scores we'd like to settle this season.
Me personally, I'd have a data logger on everything.

Wolf, with the money you have put into the bike, i wouldnt think a clutch tune up and a data logger would be too far away. Im running the Innovate LM-1 with LMA2 on my bike. been tuning the AFR myself (first time tuning a bike and dont trust the dyno guys around here) its fun
yeah, now that i have my new stuff from MTC and know what to try, i should be getting the ETs to drop. im hoping to run 9teens on motor. i was having too much bog before.
get Nox to tune your clutch. you have a lot of power, but you probly are bogging the bike after the 60 ft with the weight you have, and its slowing you down

Yes, I do use a shorter rear shock, but also used it with a stock shock. WORLDS different with the linkpro over a stock shock.
