Ya but the big money got him a bike that runs hard right from the get go! well spent in my opion. I have a buddy that spent close to 15000 buying shit here and there then took it to a shop that was suppose to know how to tune and the bike made 356 hp on the dyno and ran 9.90 once and the rest of the time ran in the 10's and sounded like shit. now he's spent another 2000 or so and going to take it somewhere else and have it tuned and try again this yr as he wasted the whole season last yr. you get what you pay for.

God damn 15k that's crazy I would go buy a turn key bike that runs the number for that price. And I'm not saying he did bad I can't tell people what to do with the money they work for and I know my junk doesn't run anywhere near what the bike in the pics run so ya I guess you do get what you pay for.

Was up there with this bike, My friend was running Pro Street and we were just fighting issues friday and saturday. We really wish we had time to test before driving 15 hours, but it just didn't happen. After Saturday night we just loaded up and went home.
Busy busy weekend. was acutally parked next to you guys (Chris Jones, Rickey) but didn't have time to talk. And when we were free from working on it, Chad was working on his bike and didnt want to bother him.

Well we tried telling him to go buy something turn key. and when you do complete motor, turbo set up, sec injectors, ams 1000, lock up clutch, drive 8 hrs to have it tuned, 15,000 can be gone before you know it.

I am very pleased with the power this bike makes with a minimal amount of boost. This setup should last a very long time and be very dependable for me which is what I was looking for. The bike ran consistant 7.90s all weekend and yes I did run 194 mph on two back to back passes which is way more than I ever expected to do. I ran 152 MPH in the 1/8th on one and 149 MPH on the other. The bike is very capable of running much better ETs once I make some suspension and clutch changes. Basically as it stands I am simply just not riding the bike like it should be ridden and Chris is helping me through the setup issues. Congrats Chris on winning Real Street in Valdosta!!!!

Congrats Chad! Also nice meeting you at Chris's trailer. We had a tuff weekend and the sad part is that most of it was self inflicted. We'll re group and be back soon.

Here is my fastest pass to date with my new setup. Track temps today were 140 degrees and this bike pulls like crazy even in the heat with small amounts of boost. My MPH is WAY low but I am running out of gear at the big end. I should have a video that I can post soon.

Glad to see things are starting to come together! I can't wait to see what this bike will do in some 50 deg weather!

LeonidasZX14, where do you have your boost controller mounted?
I have a ams-500 and cant find a decent place to mount it. Stu
quote:what is small amounts of boost? damn good times!!!!!
Maybe my small amount is different than others but I am comparing mine to a pro street bike. I am running 20 psi on the boost controller so actual wastegate boost may be slightly lower.

No I completely understated. The bike is a beast no doubt so when are you gonna put some power to it lol

Honestly I don't think I will run any more boost than what I am, I mean I have been 190+ on 20lbs. I need to work on bringing it in as early as possible rather than just raising the boost.
