Can you lose 100 lbs before the race? Colonics help.
Besides the added weight of being a big guy, you are also offering a lot of wind resistance. Your body is acting as a sail on top of the 14. If time is not on your side get a PC, full system and mount a bottle of NOS under your seat.
And if you feel comfortable enough-- lift your butt up off your seat as your accelerate. This will allow wind to go under you crotch for better aerodynamics. But don't attempt this unless you know what you are doing!!!! Good luck.

There were 2 Brocks Megs for sale in the classified section for about $600 each. Even with that and properly tuned I think at your weight you will still need a small shot of NOS.

Put the stock sprocket back on and try him again. I think you will be suprised how. Much closer you will be. You are overgeared for that type of race. You are geared to race phone pole to phone pole.

I agree . If anything , keep the front sprocket where it is but return the rear to stock and see what happens.
I have a good friend that had a completely stock but flies out 06 14.
He was over 300 lbs easy and he never had a problem making repsols gixxers ,yams and most boosas eat crow with the roll ons.
