Finally some more non-cat stuff on the schedule.
Thurs AM we finished off the 800 SkiDoo twin. Jimmy Cooper spent a few hours dialing in timing, added timing could not keep the race twins away from rev limiter. Larry put the stock pipe back on, Jimmy rolled the timing up and down, adding timing helped miidrange but lost on top. With added compression, stock was best.
Thursday PM Greg P. brought in a boondockered (with suggested settings) F9 with twins that they were having trouble getting to run decently, came with 142 left with a 170 HP trail map and 175 HP lakerace map on his boondocker.
Fri AM I goofed, SRX is coming in spring.
Monday 1/2/06 is a big HP day I hope. This afternoon Terry Paine is dropping off my monster driveshaft (he borrowed to dyno a stage 3 RX1 on Bender’s SuperFlow dyno). First some Central NY Racing guys are dialing in a big load of Boondocker nitrous, shooting for 275 in the AM?
In the PM, Thousand Island Goose Bay radar run madman Stanley Parker is coming to dial in his stage 3 Bender RX1 turbo with MSD. I’m hoping that he’s not hoping for 400. Preliminary results: within an hour after Terry Paine returned the monster shaft to us it got twisted like a piece of black licorice (it had been dented and weakened by an earlier hydraulic lift mishap and just came off Bender’s dyno on a 390 hp turbo with no problem) while we were dialing in MachZ stocker w/ Boondocker & Boondocker N2O. Since we were having trouble achieving the expected monster torque we went back to standard shaft. NA the Boondocker was perfect in enabling us to match the improvement we saw with the Shootout MachZ racebox. After that we struggled to add 20 hp with what was supposed to be a 100 hp four-nozzle kit. We tuned in what we could, we will try to get some assistance from Boondocker tomorrow to enable us to increase N2O and fuel flow to create more meaningful improvement. With no monster shaft, I had to cancel Gooose Bay Madman Stanley until a replacemnt monster shaft is built.
Tuesday we’ll put another few hours testing Race Tools’ muffler packing on our Cycledyne. The eddy current absorption unit maintains constant speed load, and we dial in enough throttle to maintain a desired HP level. In the PM my pal Big Joe DiSpirito is coming with Mike Gross to tune a ZR900 with twin pipes that Joe built. Then if we make 180+ we’re going to eat Joe’s favorite low carb best in the world ribs at Alex’ Place. Joe didn’t make it, but Mike and pals came, made 180 plus and I bet they ate ribs without Joe.
Wed AM Jay from Sun and Snow someplace in Central NY is bringing in an F8 with Boondocker nitrous to dial in. PM I’m Mr Mom (my wife works Wed’s and Fri’s as a Court Reporter those days I pick up our 7 yr onld son at school so only one fairly local AM sled on those days).
Thursday Richard is bringing in TWO MACHZs, one ported with Boondocker and CS pipes, the other I think with Bikeman domes and stock pipe mod.Richard also wants to dyno tune a third sled, either an 800doo twin or a Fusion, can’t remember which.
Fri AM is reserved for an F9 twin piper that needs tuning if I can find a tech wrench to help out, I should know by wed.
Sat and Sun are open (weekends are $25/hr more).
Week of 1/8 Tues and Thursday are full (on those days 3 MachZs and one Fusion 900 to try Fusion single pipes on!), have Monday all day, wed AM HTG Rob Schooping is coming to dyno a Boondocker N2O fusion and Friday AM open. next weekend looks full unless we get cancellations.
