I can't speak for anyone else, but ky experience with mr12 is not good. I wasted $130 at the manufactures cup in November. Tested all day Friday with it, trying every map Brock had. Picked up better et with pump gas

By looking at JT's time slip and the fact that the BMW was slower by .01 in the 8th mile and was only quicker in the back half by .o8 yet trapped the same mph as Lee's bike does (161 mph) should tell you something- the wheel spin in 4 th and 5 th gear Lee had is the only reason the BMW had a better ET.

Add MR12 like the BMW had in the tank.
Add a map with Power Commander
add <<0 oil from Brock's
add a DA from 1600 down to 1200
Add good track prep
Subtract JT's super fly weight from Lee's flyweight weight

I rode a beemer at the track and the foot shifting without using the clutch or blipping the throttle is every bit as quick as the air shifter I use on my 14, so that shift assist works.

Edit: I used MR12 also and didnt go quicker or faster, so I guess its luck of the draw on what pail you end up with,but it seems to always work for brock and most of the pros..

If the 14r was as light as the Beemer is would be running 8.44's.

and if the space shuttle had bigger fuel tanks ...we could go to mars.. but fact is the bmw ran 8.44's and the zx14r is still with 8.50's .. and the space program needs funding

I have never run MR 12, because it's not a good nitrous fuel. And the price at $25 a gallon compared to three dollars a pound of nitrous, didn't make good sense for me seeing they both add oxygen to the cylinder. but if you want to play with the same numbers they are using. You have to use the same equipment. Bocks said he got 6 hp out of the MR 12. Add that 6 hp to the ET that Lee is running now. It would probably be in the 8.45 range, take another 20 pounds off for JT's weight. Probably in the 8.35 range.

living in fantasy land and reality are 2 different ways of life too.. i prefer reality what the time slip shows after a run .. the other is a good sales pitch nothing else cause it never happen .. like dreaming ..it sure felt good while you was asleep .. but then you woke up and discovered your 50 and not 16 years old

yes, and if you go to bed ugly, you'll probably wake up ugly. Here is a fact. Just posted at the gator nationals. Right Lane: Eddie Krawiec Runs 6.863/197.54, Now #1 Pro Stock motorcycle

so with that fact in mind that Harleys are faster, next time I pull up to a red light beside one, should I be worried about him? he might be running MR 12 LOL

what do you mean, "you ZX14 guys" lol. if you just want to throw ET numbers out there JT has run well into the sevens on a real street zx14 . but if you want real apples to apples comparison. I don't see a faster production bike out there.

You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40.
If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

if you count all the ZX 14 record holders in real street and super sport. You will find that they are more than its competitors. I don't ever remember the BMW setting a record ?
