Guys, this was intended to give Carpenter props for great work, not bash anyone. I have not mentioned the other shop, as I stated before, I moved forward. If someone wants a pissing match, post it elsewhere. With that said, my next project is already slated for Carpenters!
The bike made 203HP, with me present, at the other shop. Lets leave it at that. Where the additional HP came from, without revealing hard earned trade secrets, it was in the head. No more compression, no better fuel, same sticky tire. Bob put his time in to figure it out, you got to respect that. Handing out his trade secrets can be someone else's gig, it won't be mine..
Yes the bike was warmed up properly prior to the pull.
Bob is a master at what he does, as evident by his builds.
