Jay at APE -- yep, believe I've heard of you and your stuff. I'm thinking I got my HD springs and clutch stuff for the old busa from you guys. Excellent stuff and service. Glad to have you here!

 

It's impossible to quote horsepower numbers. Even if I knew your current configuration and proposed upgrades, I could only attempt to get close. With that said, you could probably expect about 6-10 horsepower. If this sounds low, it is. That's because, though you're increasing your motors ability to breath (good), you're not pushing more air via an increase in cylinder pressure ie bigger pistons, higher compression, etc.... It's like putting Lance Armstrong's lungs in Rosie ODonnell... great to have but they'll NEVER be used to their potential. Personally, for big power, I'd go piston kit first. Even if you're racing, you could go stock bore, high compression and still stay within the rules.

 

Hi Anubis, keeping up with your valve adjustments, etc., is the best way to make sure all is well in your valve train and I'm sure you're aware of Honda's tensioner issue so I won't even go there. If you're talking about switching to titanium valves, I wouldn't bother on a street motor as performance per dollar spent would be quite low. The only reason to replace your stock valves, in my view, is if they're damaged. Otherwise, run what you brung and save your cash for one of my autographed posters!

Sorry Cj,
I've been going to the wrong forum and wondering why there were no questions for me there - go figure. Hey, cut me some slack, I'm only fast AND smart on race weekends

 

Do any of y'all know if anyone makes a turbo kit for a '05 600RR? Any input is appreciated!

 

What about parts for the forgotten Hondas like the Hurricane?
