SlowerThanYou Posted September 15, 2013 Author Report Posted September 15, 2013 You going to Dome in November? You know something I don't, let me know? Quote
n2otoofast4u Posted September 15, 2013 Report Posted September 15, 2013 No. Just asking. Its been talked about by a few of us here about going down. Quote
J-Madd Posted September 15, 2013 Report Posted September 15, 2013 Picked up the motor from K&T this past Tues. Randy & I discussed one change that he would like to see. The motor made peak HP at 9600 a little shy of theirs. He talked with Matt Shearer & they both think 10mm removed from the head pipe may be needed. We decided to wait until after we run it to make a decision. My 650 bike is at 9600 rpm at the traps according to gearing calculator. Fwiw. Never had it dynoed. Quote
SlowerThanYou Posted September 15, 2013 Author Report Posted September 15, 2013 No. Just asking. Its been talked about by a few of us here about going down. When I picked the motor up Tues. Kim told me someone was trying to get a race planned for Nov. at Dome. He said he would only go if it was PSDA sanctioned race. That's the only thing I have heard. My 650 bike is at 9600 rpm at the traps according to gearing calculator. Fwiw. Never had it dynoed. That's where we had the gearing before this dyno work. The shift light set at 9600 was coming on right before the traps. The motor peaked at 8800 on the early dyno runs, that's why it was falling on its face thru the traps. It was all based on K&T's motor dyno runs. Now it's close, just need to find time to run it. Right now the priority is with the racecar & 3 big races in Oct. & Nov. Quote
n2otoofast4u Posted September 15, 2013 Report Posted September 15, 2013 I HIGHLY DOUBT PSDA WILL BE INVOLVED! That organization is a total let down for the western half of this country. But I probably wouldn't try and have a race out here either. Quote
J-Madd Posted September 15, 2013 Report Posted September 15, 2013 I've heard rumors about a Pro Sand race there. Quote
SlowerThanYou Posted September 15, 2013 Author Report Posted September 15, 2013 I've heard rumors about a Pro Sand race there. I think they are trying, but I'll believe it when it happens. Plus, they had better hurry up & decide or it will be too short of notice for most. Quote
SlowerThanYou Posted October 2, 2013 Author Report Posted October 2, 2013 Here's the dyno numbers for the DMX. It's all pretty irrelevant like JUSTWANNARACE & I discussed in the SB tonight. The Dyno tune & the track tune doesn't really matter, only the track times. While we know the numbers are high, what's important is what it gained while on the dyno. K&T base lined the motor, then made the highest hp @ 156 at 9600 rpm. The highest Torque reading was 90 ft. lbs. Quote
n2otoofast4u Posted October 2, 2013 Report Posted October 2, 2013 JWR follows the 650 class. And if all is equal to yours and their motor, it will have to make those numbers to run the numbers that they have. (does that make sense?) 1 Quote

It makes sense, but we had realistic goals with this motor build. 1st. it was built for asphalt, 2nd we are in a stock frame 320 lb. chassis & lastly our Jockeys range from a not so light weight of 170 - 220 lbs. We are not looking to set the world on fire. We did very well with the 443 cub with these parameters. If we can do the same with this motor (of course faster), we will be happy. Quote
dajogejr Posted October 2, 2013 Report Posted October 2, 2013 The Dyno tune & the track tune doesn't really matter, only the track times. You're talking crazy now... I see Dynos at the track all the time. I pass them like they're standing still... 1 Quote
SlowerThanYou Posted October 2, 2013 Author Report Posted October 2, 2013 The Dyno tune & the track tune doesn't really matter, only the track times. Too many drinks last night, LOL! The dyno tune & the track tune are usually two different set-ups. What really matters is the track times. 1 Quote
hughmyron Posted October 2, 2013 Report Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) You're talking crazy now... I see Dynos at the track all the time. I pass them like they're standing still... lmao but bro racing dynos>racing. Edited October 2, 2013 by hughmyron Quote
SlowerThanYou Posted October 26, 2013 Author Report Posted October 26, 2013 Anyone familiar with the FSA. They seem to have a good following/races on the hills out West. If I'm not mistaken this is their 1st event doing/promoting 300' drags. Seems like they added the 2 stroke classes last minute. Any information would be appreciated. Quote
