I tell you what,just to keep it friendly,I will race Matt,motor to motor,no spray.I would prefer a full tree but I know what the answer is to that.I suck on a pro tree,so basically I will be spotting him a tenth.We can do it for $20,$50, cheeseburgers whatever.
We quit running motor a long time ago, it's just too hard to prove. And with $25 gasoline, It takes to run that, I'd just as soon run nitrous. proving both bikes have stock motors is even harder? so will just run nitrous.
the race I would really like to see, is wee bike with 140 pound rider like you, motor to motor. but Ronnie doesn't let people ride his bike. I understand that. We're smokin when you need him LOL
you could always put a 200 pound rider on your bike?

Is the TXGF 1/8th mile?
YES ..
Sucks for me, i rely on my HP in the backhalf to make up for my weight and lack of riding skills, lol. I can make up alot with 175mph trap speed, I'll have to make some changes to my bike for sure. I've never ran 1/8th mile in my life, except when i pass the 1/8th at half track haha.

it had a johnny cheese map in it when i open the map file and was dynoed at 301hp.. they said at 10k miles they did a rebuild and had a list of stuff done ..s2000 injectors and ART dished Pistons" whatever those are" .. it has 14k miles now... but from the bottom them pistons sure look stock..
Walter Sprout tuned it on my dyno when it made 278 and it sure didn't have S2000 injectors then but whoever scott sold it to probably changed it, I was just looking at some stock pistons and they all have "Art" on the bottoms. It had a JC map in it then too, when Walter tuned it he never renamed the map. Either one, JC or Walter tuned would be good, 2 best tuners I know.

the map was crap for dragracing ..may been a good gross hp map or street map but for launching it was a off/ on switch ..either it bogged or it stood-up ..

No telling who played with it between the time it was tuned 2yrs ago and when you got it. Its tuned and you like it now though right? So what's your opinion between a Turbo 14 and Turbo Busa. We've got both, they're both fast, I hate working on the 14's but the busa's are easy, my brother says the 14 is not that bad but he'd say that no matter what lol, he's a true blue die hard Kawasaki man. He's still got his turbocharged 78 z1r he's had since 81 or so.

this is my 2nd turbo busa ..had an 06 2 years ago..
i prefer the zx14 over the busa ..better bike all all round.. but i like the busa for cheap parts and plentiful and no 1 piece block design either able to make big hp cheap..... but the zx14 was easier to work on motor wise ..its easier to get to some things on the busa.. they both have their ups and down ..but that 1 piece zx14 block is crap due to expense to fix a cylinder if damage .. the busa not even in the league with smoothness, brakes, clutch, seating, ride comfort .. and i've own a gen 2 busa also .. busa storage space is also a big plus .. just what i think, everybody differant

Same here. But having to seal up the frame was a bitch. The hole under the neck was the one I was late finding. I like the 14 but due to the fact you can build a turbo busa so cheap and I pay for my daughter to go to the Unv. of Alabama I have mostly done Suzuki. I just bought a Gen 2 wrecked Busa and have considered putting a turbo on it. With it's 8 injectors you can pretty much use a 1:1 regulator and a reflash for an easy 300 RWHP. But I think I want all motor. I think this one was owned by a squid ( Neon flashing lights and chrome open slash cut tips) so I am going to split the case and get the trans undercut and put new bearing with HD ARP rod bolts just to know what I got. You never know when you get one of those morons that hold the bike on the rev limiter in neutral because it sounds cool. Exchange piston kit (1441cc) and a Carpenter head/cam package.

He might be smart enough to just drive it on the trailer instead of pushing it.

When I get through with your Busa, you will wish it had a twin turbo on it. You will definitely not want to have any video of our run. Nevermind, you could use it as a training film on how to leave the line. See you soon. It will be alot of fun no matter who wins.
