Smokin I like the extra hp also you say mill the head how much? Clean up the bowls? You mean some porting or deburring the ports? Sorry can't give you any biz unless by mail but curious how this would work out for street riding.
We milled .020 off the head and a bowl clean up .. Matt does a little work on the intake short side of the bowl to improve flow numbers ..The head gets a fresh valve job on top of the other work .. You will need to run 92 or 93 pump gas .. You will need adjustable cam gears so you can set your cam timing .. The head 100% streetable ... Jesse's zx14 is his daily driver , he rides it to the track and to work .. Other than making more power the bike is just like a stocker on the street ..

Only problem i had with Jesse bike with the modded head was banging the rev limiter ..It revs so damn fast you hit the limiter so fast it's not even funny ..From 7000 to the limiter it pulls so much harder it's a bit scary to you untill get used to it ... A shift light would be a big help ..

Thanks for the reply any clues for a source for head porting. I don't have bench or skill to do it but would be interested at some point. I looked down the ports and noticed the intake to head port was not very close of a match. Sounds like a good mod for sure.

Just did a little reading regarding porting a small block chevy head might this be a key area for the 14 head
"The ridge below the valve seat is the key area to remove in order to enhance airflow. Eliminating this ridge develops a smooth radius from the valve seat into the port"

"Now if you want to blow the body work off that BMW with your zx14 all you need to do is spend a little bit of cash ...375.00 bucks mill your head and clean up the bowls , deg your cams 104 106 and see a gain of 13 HP at peak and 15 HP at the limiter .. "


Maybe, but what if the BMW gears his bike -1 +2?

It depends on how much you and your 14 weigh.

At stock wheelbase, that BMW would be way overgeared at -1, +2!! Uncontrollable wheelie machine!!

With a setup like that enabled I imagine that you won't get much of the acceleration that the extra gear could provide on a longer bike.

I mean, essentially it will neuter itself to keep things under control....right? So there wouldn't seem to be much of a point in adding any gear without wheelbase.

Did some roll ons with my BMW (full akra and +2 in the rear. vs. 08 cbr 1k geared , 08 zx10r pipe and pc -1 +3 gear, 08 hayabusa with akra pipe and geared -1 +2 and the zx14 -1 +4. For all you haters you can figure which bike won.

I took my bike to the local dragstrip and ran it stock height and wheelbase. There was 2 zx14's and a 08 Busa (the one above). They were all slammed and stretched. All of the above riders are within 25 lb's of each other.

The Busa and zx14's won at the dragstrip by about 3/10ths but the trap speed on the BMW was up 4 mph better than the - Busa with a 15 lb lighter rider on the busa. and 5 mph better than the zx14 with pipe, pc, geared and same weight rider.


There really isn't a comparison between the two bikes but inevitably the which one is faster always occurs.

If you are into road racing and roll ons: buy the BMW
If you are a drag racer buy the zx14 or busa.
If you are into comparing dynocharts and peak numbers are for you buy the BMW.

Or simply own them both like I do!

alright well some of these facts are right, but the BOOZA IS STOCK gearing the 14 is +4 stock in the front and whos 100rr did you race? i think when Cisco gears his bike it will beat your BMW when me and him raced the other night (same night as when me and you raced) he got me by 5 bikes and was still pulling he shut it down at 155-160, now if he had the gear he would have jumped out on me harder and stayed pulling it would be hard for the modded BMW to stay out in front i think.

"Power to weight" can't get ne simpler than that! Bigger cc's had problems with litre bikes since the 05/06 1000, most over 6' guys arent riding the litre bikes, they tend to opt for more comfort, that's my excuse n I'm sticking with it, lol, but Shane's bike may b the weight exception, lol

Art i didn't say I raced you on your stock BOOZA . and 4 mph in trap speed qtr mile( Busa with akra pipe and geared with a rider who ways 15 lb's less) virtually says who will win in a roll on contest. Keep in mind my bike is only +2 in the rear. Once I gear it more it will gain more bike lengths on a roll on......................

Art you will still lose to the BMW with Cysco's bike......(want to bet on it?)

how were you shifting when you raced this guy???? ( i dont bother using the clutch. its much quicker) i just dont believe you would loose like that.....i raced a 700rwhp mustang for years and the one thing i learned very quick when i had just recently bought my 1st bike (zx14) is that the rider or driver is everything with these(same with the car).....i would have loved to hear the outcome with a rider switch....
