That's true, I suppose, it's just that I have never seen anyone mention anything other than engine mods on the list. I wouldn't mind if I could read it! I too presume that corner speed is the main area where circuit racers can win/lose. I also presume, as the turbo hasn't made it onto the 6 yet, that major power hikes on a production bike through turbo/nitrous systems may well entirely screw up corner speeds, as getting on the gas early with boost could be interesting without a strong outside leg and friendly tyres. I speak from a position of total ignorance however. Have you tried the same bike on a track, with/without blower? Did the lap times come down dramatically? I'd like to see how much I'm going to regret doing this mod! Regards, Andy PS I think Mr Foggy is finding out this season that terminal speed is pretty important too, as the Duke hasn't, it seems to this impartial amateur viewer, have the power to get by the Kwaks and Hondas. Dropping into and driving out of corners is just fine, but as soon as it straightens up, the bike's struggling. Don't flame me on this, just making an observation. Yes I know he's top of the championship, but he can't catch 'em once they're past. ---------- >Von: jerry / unix, mime >An: Evans, Andrew-ZA z.h.e.f.a. / zhwerd; hyperspace / unix, mime; >turbobike / unix, mime >Betreff: UNAUTHENTICATED: Faster steering ZX9R B1 >Datum: Montag, 17.
