really excited

Hey a dry order is better than no order at all! lol

 

So last night went pretty good at the drag strip. I picked up about three mph. I usually always trap at 119 ish and one time when the planets aligned, aka perfect conditions, I ran a 120.0. This is over the course of almost three years and no modifications. Last night I was pulling consistent 122s with my fastest run at 122.50 and 11.29 and my quickest run being an 11.23. The bike was a handful with the added power (a lot more low end torque). Getting out of the was easy at first, but as i started approaching 11.20 I started fight major wheelies in first. Really any time I rolled the throttle open in first she wants to stand up. I could probably knock off a tenth or two after a few more nights. She is very consistent with the added quick shifter, shift kit and 100 pound clutch springs. I did the math and the veefer has the power to run 10.90 right now, but that is going to be very hard with out flipping. I am going to invest in some front end straps and see how much that helps. Also hopefully I will still Pick up some more power and another mph or two after I get the bike tuned properly on a dyno.

 

Here is a rough estimate of the factory power to the wheel:









And here is a rough estimate of where I stand now:














Not bad at all. That is roughly a 7.72% gain in horsepower. Also that is untuned, and me versus a professional driver on the fastest stock vfr I have seen so far, so I think that I am being pretty conservative here and there is plenty of room for improvement.

 

I've not seen that calculator before, so ran some figures of my own, no drag numbers, only accurate weights & HP measured on a reliable Dyno.

HP now;-
Your ET / MPH computed from your vehicle weight of 671 pounds and HP of 107 is 10.74 seconds and MPH of 124.73 MPH. 103Kg Rider (Me)
Your ET / MPH computed from your vehicle weight of 572 pounds and HP of 107 is 10.18 seconds and MPH of 131.55 MPH. 58Kg rider

Target HP;-
Your ET / MPH computed from your vehicle weight of 671 pounds and HP of 120 is 10.34 seconds and MPH of 129.59 MPH. 103Kg Rider (Me)
Your ET / MPH computed from your vehicle weight of 572 pounds and HP of 120 is 9.80 seconds and MPH of 136.67 MPH. 58Kg rider

So all I need is another 13HP & a small rider to get a great time I appreciate that the calculator is intended for cars, but the lightweight wheels on mine let it spin up much quicker. Will have to try to get some actual drag times.

 

Yeah the calculator is great, but you gotta take the results with a grain of salt.

 

This is some gopro footage of the first run of the night from Wednesday.

kindve excited myself. im supposed to check back thursday by phone see if my box came in. cant wait lol

 

Good luck! It's worth the wait!
I hope to have some dyno charts for you guy with in this month.

 

I've been trying in vain to find a comparison tween the PC and the RB and all my questions have been answered , Thanks CandyRedRC46.

 

No prob buddy. It's nice to be appreciated. Are you able to find a rapid bike module? There is a listing on eBay right now, but I'm not sure if its a RB1 or RB2. One is fuel only. Two is the one you want. A rapid bike three would be tits. They should all accept the same harness, just the quick shift and pit lane pins etc are in a different spot. They even sell an adaptor to use the rapid bike race on the 1,2,3 harness. I'd like to do that eventually when the price drops.
Good luck brother

 

Quick up date. With some more practice and fork straps, the bike is now in the tens.
