More Power from a 91???

I plan on drag racing this summer on my 91 (mainly test n tunes) just for fun... what mods would help the bike except for the obvious (exhaust, jet kit, pair mod)

ways to lose unnecessary weight also?
better suspension? is there any good rear shocks that bolt on??
and yes i kno my best bet would be buying a gsxr, r6, 636, but i want to use my vfr....

 

already cut the box of my exhaust lol or else id be really interested, u wouldnt happen to have any of these parts btw would ya? i need a fender and the upper cowl

 

ya but its still gonna be streetable, just gonna bring it to test n tunes for fun.... any chance i could get a big bore kit for it?

 

ya i feel ya, id love to have a 5th gen supercharged someday......

 

I ran my 91 quite a few times on the strip when I live in Wichita and there really wasn't anything else to do. I found the biggest issue was gearing. It was hard to launch because first gear was too tall. It either bogged, wheelied and then boged or lit up the rear tire. Hard on clutches! Better have some spares handy. I dropped and strapped the front end and softened up the rear preload to get as much grip as possible. My best runs were around 117 mph at 12.2ish. It was really consistent! The worst part was watching shitty drivers drive around you on the big end because they had an extra 50hp on tap. I could get off the line faster but they would run me down. Inevitably, you will want more power, much more power!

 

Take to a track day, forget drag racing........

 

+2 on that. The 91 is a fun track bike but watch the ground clearance. It will teach you how to drag a knee!

 

nice pass!
