Oh and to answer someone's question as to why they would "neuter" a bike.... PLS-"post litigation syndrome", Suzuki got raped after a couple guys lost it on that bike in Europe, so they "cut off one of it's balls" before exporting it here. They also added a steering stabilizer. They did something similar to the GSXR1100. Manufacturers throw away horse power all the time, for safety reasons, drivability, to make a MPG number, to make emission tests, to save money on more expensive parts/manufacturing processes, etc. The bottom line is that with the original numbers you were using, I would say no fucking way could you get those results with "bolt-ons" but now that I have more "accurate" starting numbers, I don't see why a guy couldn't see those kinds of peak hp numbers taking into account dyno variations, etc. |

I didnt think I was being vague, just stating that 150 is very possible. I also think that people are unaware of the amount of and scope of the mods to this engine that can be done without cracking the block. I used a smaller number because the sheets I have seen tend to be in the 88-92 range, and I do believe there were a few TLS in there. Believe me, I was stunned myself when guys started posting and showing such gains with the mods that can be done, but I have seen them and if I dynod my bike, I would be surprised if it was not in the 130ish range.

The crank numbers were usually around 135hp stock.
