thx
No increase in top end power guys and you shouldn't cares because that will be taken care of with a pipe/can and mapping...
Now, the increase of 20 LBS in the 3-4K range is way, way bigger than an increase of 20LBS at 10K because it represents a 35%+ power increase over the 60+lbs TQ you have now (between3-4K) and once its properly mapped, that will be more like 25+ LBS at 3-4K...that is some sick shit guys...if you took that power increase (35%) at the top of the band, you would be putting out almost 155LBS tq at the crank at around 7.2K...and that is something you not only feel, but would blast the bike from here to eternity...so imagine the gains down low...
Anyway you slice this, the bike (with plates removed) makes awesome power and TQ down low where it counts in the street...add a PC, mapping and a pipe and you have a bike that'll spank 1397 Busa's with cams (and all with NO motor mods)!
My Busa pulled almost 88LBS TQ (SAE) at 3.5K with a slip on Yosh, air box mod and a PC3...this bike WILL pull way more with similar mods and that's what I've been saying all along.
Now you can understand why I get so annoyed when guys like TRE-FUCKER lie like this.
THE BEAST IS NOW UNLEASHED.

After the standard mods, add at least another 60 RWHP (my guess) for a larger bore/stroke and cams/heads...for not a ton of cash...don't need turbo's or S/C's unless you want to launch it straight up toward the moon like a Saturn V rocket...LOL

We didn't get into all of the details, he was trying to get ready for pro star in Memphis, but the valves are fully open up top anyway so I wouldn't think there would be a noticeable gain there, but I could be wrong...richening it up 12% to 15% would help a lot, but it's most likely going to make even nore than the 10 hp/20 ft-lbs he saw so you better hang on!

I would guess 30-40 crank hp/ 20-30 rwhp without touching the bore or stroke!
All I will say is I had alot of parts on the bench today looking at things, and inside stuff!
There is more yet to derestrict!
It will cost some bottom end power, but for drag racers.... quite a bit more HP up top!

That's Great news! I'm just glad that someone with some creds. confirmed my apprehension with removing those flaps w/o a fuel management system in line(PCIII usb).
That free Dyno tuning is still avail. to anyone w/ a jacked ZX10 PC & no flaps! Will Dial you in & post results.

With a PC3, Ignition module, pipe/cans, plate removal...low end loss should be minimal. In any case, since most people haven't removed the plates, they'll see massive gains throughout the entire band (particularily on the low end) once all these mods have been done! I'm waiting till I get my parts from Brock and then will take the bike to the Dyno to have them installed and tweaked...If I get 184+RWHP and the more robust low end, I'll be very, very happy indeed! 184 (SAE) is my goal with the whole setup. That should be about 205+ at the crank (without RAM Air)

I was just waiting for Brock to call me...he's back Tuesday. My 10R was polished TI, I imagine he does the 14 as well...I'll post as soon as I get news...and his systems are really solid and well built. BTW, we owe you for that plate removal discovery and having the kahoonies to be the 1st to try! Great find there!! I think this is going to be a very popular mod around here...

I suppose no one has done this mod and had it on the dyno Sooo, this coming tuesday my bike will be getting a custom tune. It has the muzzypipe(full exhaust), schnitz pc, butterfly valves removed. We shall se what happens. I'll post a dynosheet of it afterwards if anyone is interested.
Stock: 163 sae, im hoping with the pipe, pc, tune, butterfly flappers removed it will make at least 175 hp.

I removed my plates today, and took a little different approach to the whole "lean" issue.
I have a lot of experience in the automotive world of tuning, especialy concerning forced induction, but not a lot of FI bike tuning experience, so I leaned a little on Metric Cycles and Park 10 CBR Performance. Modern sportbikes have a secondary air system on them for air-exhaust gas injecton, which is supposed to lower NO polution and burn off extra HC's in the stream. In order to run a accurate AFR test, this system should be disabled. I do not believe that Ivan or Brock thought to disable this system, however today we did. We also set up to measure EGT's before and after the butterfly valves were removed.
2500-6000 RPM roll on, outside temp = 98F, bike coolant = 198F
With valves = 1380F AFR = 13.1
Without = 1378F AFR = 13.2
Crusing, 3.2K in 6th (dyno loaded to simulate 70mph)
With valves = 1402F AFR = 15.8
Without = 1406F AFR = 15.8
Tip in at 3.2K showed an immediate surge in fuel to 12.8 then smoothed back out again, Seems typical of a modern FI "run-lean" cruising habits of an automotive engine application with cats.
So, what's the issue? No idea. All I can tell you is the HP and TQ increased about 10 HP and 22 FT pounds with the plates removed, but the AFR's at WOT seemed the same in both cases.
Volumetrics of the engine won't change with the plates removed. There is still the same amount of backpressure from the exhaust and airflow from the inlet as before, provided that you don't change anything from stock. We found no signs of detonation. Keep in mind that we were using 93 octane fuel, which in itself is a nice safeguard on an engine tuned for 90-89 octane.
I wouldn't worry about engine damage when removing the plates, however a tune should help with the timing advance and LFT and SFT tables down low, which are lacking gears 1-4.

So you are saying that all you did is remove or block the pair valve and the a/f ratio was fine ?

No, we blocked the "PAIR" valve for the test. The valve will throw off AFR testing to my understanding if left enabled.

So in your opinion -- and it sounds like you have very extensive proof and knowledge, there isn't really any need to remap those ranges to get more fuel happening? I guess the pair valve would throw off the tests because it's not getting accurate measure on the exhaust due to the fresh air induction AFTER the fact...you know, I never would have thought about that. This means that any bike equipped with a pair valve must be disabled for tuning purposes...interesting Ojef....

Measuring you EGTs is the best tuning method, i've used it to tune my turbo
bikes and the old GN.
Mapping should still be done for the best power. I think a PC on a bone stock
bike would benifit from a "tuning session".

I pulled the plates and went out and rode it late this evening and I must say the bike pulls like a sob, blew me away with the night and day difference and I'm still stock except for the 16t, with a pipe and pc it's got to be major scary because it's scary as hell now, there is nothing out there that should be able to keep up doing roll on's with the plates removed, sick acceleration!

Really though, I am elated!

All tuners disable the PAIR valve (Suzuki) or KLEEN Air system (Kawasaki) when sniffing the exhaust, exactly for the reason you specify, Oj.

OK am i missing something here??? I know on a Busa that it has air injection tubes going to the exhaust and that would make air fuel numbers lean at the pipe... But looking at my zx14 when i changed to my muzzy pipe i saw NO air injection pipes... It looks to me that the PAIR valve pluming goes to the air cleaner box on the zx14... If that is the case it would cause no lean reading at the tail pipe.... I have no idea who this guy Ojref
is and what he knows or how he came up with his numbers ... I think we should wait and see what Brock will say about this...Ojref I'm not putting you down or poo pooing your work, i thank you for the work you have done so far but i would like the Pros to chime in to back up your data ....Smokin ...

Any possibility the valve flows air right directly into the manifold from inside?
