Nice, heard a lot of good things about him. Hopefully one day he can do a turbo setup for me.
Lets see some pics of your bike. What kind of times are you running with it?

Thanks Norris, and everyone else. Over the last few years I have been very low profile when it comes to my products and work. I am the worst when it come to PR. I am more of a worker than a mouthpiece. That has probably hurt me drastically with regards to business. Since 2006 I have been testing and developing components for the zx14. Along the way my bikes have capatured 20 National wins/RU, and 8 #1 qualifiers, an AMA National Championship, and we were in a large points lead in 2010 in Real-Street when the AMA organization went bankrupt. Since that time, Rickey Gadson has taken four national wins on a turbo 14's that I built. That is including 3 wins for 2012 on the new 14r that was not even finished until September of 2012. And hell, Im still begging Kawasaki for support. I really enjoy what I do and don't mind helping others if I can do so. I sincerely thank all of you for your support. Sincerely, Chris Jones.

Bently my best 60s are 143 to 148 my worst is 150 to 156 it seems the slower the sixty the more topend mph,and i dont think my bike makes any where near that hp,Chris can tell u wat it makes ,i never really cared about the peak hp thing even when this same bike was on N0s,for 4 years wat mattered was the ET for me!

Great times! And that's some
Monster mph for your weight.
If you don't mind, what's the bike setup? Is this still a stock motor?

the changes i did to the motor was because it was a no2 motor before i put the turbo on it, but from what i understand a stock motor is well suited for the kit i have, i changed pistons to je turbo pistons and i have crower rods, stock cams in factory settings,hd valve springs.

next season i will put a better tire or flat slick on it to stay hooked to the track on the topend and crank the boost up too 17lbs thats were this street turbo kit is most efficient and try to run some 8.20s or better 8 teens .

What tire you running now?
A hook up or power one should hook, especially with Chris setting it up.
