digest number 1217

Hi, Well be amazed, I just fished out my dyno sheets. These two runs were done with different gearing so I will only quote the maximun HP shown for that run. Stock pipe and jetting. 33.0 hp at 85 deg F 30.02 in Gearing stock Big Gun AND rejetting. 37.3 hp at 89.4 deg F 29.95 in Gearing 14/45 The hp gain at lower rpm was higher, maybe not 20% but very close. These runs were done at Cycle City. Jun 10, 2000 and Aug 11, 2000 I am also so told by some reliable Husky guys that Biggun improvements are similar or GREATER.

I'm sorry, I still think I am correct. You detuned the engine by enrichening the fuel circuit and not enlarging the exhaust to match. I did a search of the archives for stock HP rating, I could have swore it was 36 HP, and lookie what I found:

So I am still not amazed, and you have a net gain of 1.3 HP over stock. Woopee. I know the seat of the pants dyno screams 8 HP!!! But that's all wishful thinking compounded by decibels. If noise was power, my KLR would run 7 seconds in the quarter mile.
