1327 10-1 38rs's and thinking 145-150 hp. Ran 9.23 at 141mph last year. With me at 210 plus leathers... and going to do it again tomorrow!

I was going to say "thinking" don't count, but if you weigh 210 and ran 9.2, then all I can say is, well done, sir.

Good luck.
I am going to Bradenton tomorrow 1/8 mile. It is going to be hot it hit 90* today here.

I'm thinking an expert, champion could turn a 10.7 on my 1100EZ, maybe better (99.3 rear wheel HP, no center stand).

I'm thinking I'd be lucky to run a 12.2 on her (165 lbs.). I've never raced anywhere but the streets.

Even given the variability of dyno setup measurements it is a. Damn sight more accurate in determining relative quickness vs trying to factor the rider effects out of a quarter mile time.

10.70's won't happen with any rider but i'm sure you yourself could run in the 11's after a few passes.

So can you tell me why my dyno torque numbers are so much closer to what Suzuki claimed in 1982?

1982 claimed power 108 bhp @ 8500 rpm
1982 claimed torque 67.6 lb.-ft. @ 6500 rpm

Last week 99.30 hp @ 8400 rpm
Last week 67.73 lb.-ft. @ 6500 rpm

(1100EZ w/V&H street megaphone, APE pods)

The 1982 claimed numbers are according to the July 1982 issue of Cycle World.

Quite a few passes, I'm thinking. But thanks for the confidence.

I probably can't explain it to you but all the consensus information is in the thread I referenced and it explains it to me.

if you take off like leaving from a stop light briskly...
then just power shift it a couple hundred RPM before peak HP RPM's through the gears and cross the finish line.
your a little guy at 165lbs...
if you do what i posted you would be mid 11's real easy and you would only get quicker.

[Rob S.]

Leaving stop lights "briskly", I've got 40 years experience at that. It's just that popping the clutch on four wheels never frightened me. I was never afraid that my Camaro would flip over on top of me. Now two wheels, that's a different matter.

[rapidray]

Then put a slick, wheelie bar & air shifter on it. Put it at 8000 & throw the clutch!!! You will see how fun it can be!!

If we look at the theoretical potential of your bike, you weigh 165 lbs and my 1100EZ (for example) with a VHR pipe, centerstand gone, stock wheels and brakes, weighed 508 lbs with not much gas in the tank. This would make 673 lbs and with 99.3hp, the theoretical 1/4 mile time calculates to 11.02. You must understand that the theoretical time is based on the hp being used for the whole run. With your streetbike, you won't be able to use full power off the line and therefore you should not expect to match that time. Perhaps this will help you understand why blowerbike said mid-11s.

BTW if your crank is still stock it might twist under such use. My EZ was already twisted when I bought it. Also the clutch basket should have the HD kit installed if you're going to drag race it. Third, I'd suggest adding a Dyna rpm limiter since the bike does not come with one.
