The 16 will give you the launch I've read on threads, w/ a few mph loss on top. (do you really need over 180 often?)
I found the 16 offered in 530 but not in 525 pitch. Will the 530 work with stock chain? Isnt the stock DID a 525? Where can I get the right spockets?
Thanks, TC

Sprocket Specialists...................16 will fit fine, personally I like 16/42 way better acceleration and power in town at lower speeds, the top end loss was not an issue for me it still cruises nice on the highway.

the 14 uses 530 chain and sprockets from the factory....are you trying to find a 525?

16 on the front works great for me .......I think even with a 16 it will run up to the limiter (186) 16 seems to work very nice on the street also ......Just don't race Fast with his 16/43 , he will get the jump on you real quick !!! I'm using Vortec sprocket and seems to be very well made ... Smokin..

No,
1) I can't drag race --
2) Even if I could, this thing'd be in the air so damned fast, I'd be on my ass on launch  ...the 16/43 combo is really nice, but probably not practical for the strip.
She power wheelies up till 3rd and I weigh 220 (dry) It scares me sometimes...

How about for track days? I'm not wanting to spin the rear so much on exits that it would set up potential high/low slides.
