So where are all the Hot Rodders at???

3n00n: Nice bike! I raced WERA for 3 years before joining the Navy. The only time I went without a bike was through Boot Camp & my first 9 months after.

I've had the same bike now since 02. It's an 02 Suzuki GSXR 1000. Yosh drop in cams, TRE Mod, Dealer Mod, K&N Filter,  Yosh TRS pipe and Power Commander. When I got her on the Dyno to have the fuel injection remapped she made 156hp and 84 Lb/Ft at the rear wheel. Seriously fast as well!

eighty8fierogt: NICE! I like it! I bet it really snaps! Lookin Good!

Exceptionally nimble 1 liter guided missile. The 12 though is just a psycho rocket pounding 250bhp at over 120ft/lbs torqueripping upthe pavement and then of coursewith the chip it does 105m/h {170k/h} in first at 12,200rpm and really will outrun helicopters and pass the camaro interceptors at speed . . . and you know how much of a good idea that kind of intraffic drivingis

250BHP??  Whats been done internally  to get the HP up that high???

I know the 12R's are big hp/torque bikes, I've ridden a couple. But thats Insane! Almost like the Busa I built with a friend of mine. Dropped in a Mr. Trubo kit +9 inch swingarm and 38 tooth rear sprocket. I don't know what the HP/Torque numbers were. But I remember being beside him doing about 140 and the front end just lofted like nothing in top gear. I haven't ridden it, nor do I have the desire too. But it sure is fun as hell to watch!

Kind of like the turbostealth pushes 700bhp with just a chip switch, once the 12 canget up tothe real12,200 redline it makes insane power. Justk&nand scottfilters in it and the dyno at myrtle showed about 220 at the back tire and 250 on the clutch drivegear.

The turbo busa that runs in Atlanta is 18lbs of boost for 500bhp. Not a nimble bike at all but the front tire is rarely on the pavement . . .

That ain't for me . . . wayto difficult to control

[SDale]

I STILL don't think with just a remap, a top end eliminator and basic bolt-on's  you're pullin 250. More like 185-190. What kinda dyno was it measured on? I'm sure it wasn't on an Edy Current.  If it was on a DynoJet Dyno, those a KNOWN to be VERY optimistic.

 The HIGHEST HP I've ever seen on a naturally aspirated 4 stroke inline 4 is around 265-270 with HEAVY internal modifications. Especially in the valve train.  


Do you mean a Turbo DODGE Stealth??? If that's what you're referring to, then that's incredibly WRONG! I've built, worked on AND tuned many a Stealth and it's twin brother the Mitsubishi 3000GT / GTO ... No way in HELL will those 6G72 DOHC 6's produce 700HP with just a chip change. The ECU isn't the only thing holding that motor back...They require Larger turbo's (or switch to a single HUGE turbo) in lieu of the Mitsubishi T25 units,larger  injectors for extra fuel flow , injection mapping, larger free flowing exhaust, replace the side mount intercoolers with a single front mount and possibly a spray cooling system JUST to get into the low 600's at the wheels... Not to mention the minor port work and head gaskets to get the beast to contain 20 PSI boost.

eighty8fierogt: I hope you're also planning on changing out the Drive Shafts for beefier ones! The stock GTP shafts look kinda wimpy for use with slicks!
Again though...GREAT WORK on the car! I like the color too!

LoL...I know whatcha mean Ed. It's EASY to get lost in thoughts & ideas of dream cars, bikes or guns.... REALLY easy.

It was a Rt. 66 police interceptor and insanely fast as well. They said all it had was a chip so that is all the information they divulged . . . but you know how things get built with "other peoples money" so it may have had alot more going on under wraps.

The standard 12 ECU normallyonly allows 11,500 until the cutoff shuts the sparkdown but the chip lets it go all the way to the real 12,200 redline and there is a big difference in that last 700rpm.

As for the dyno, it is ina small shop so I would say one of the less costly versions but it was showing a 1340evo putting out 35bhp and 45ft/lb of torque so I figured it was probablyfairly close. If it is not so close, then wouldn't be the first time I've been mistaken ~ and most likely not the last either . . .

[SDale]

Ah, OK...puts things into a bit more perspective now!

Nice bike though. And like I said, the 12R's are DEFINITLY fast bikes!

It has thicker HD axles... They are running on a 900+ hp car in michigan right now with no faliures. The diff's is what you have to look out for.

[SDale]

Ah...Right on Jason!
