hell, its not a lot of work to change cam numbers...
but get very good dyno numbers on yr current set up,
and be REAL SURE that you know yr current numbers
then go to 110/100, get good dyno data on them.
why not?
The 3 or 4 hp peak gain isn't so leveraging,
but the rpm gain is very important on every shift.
yup
(you do have a shift light, yes?)
I would carefully consider what both
Karl (Entropy) and Shane (Warp 12) have to say.
As Karl relates, changing the cam timing is something
that can be done in the dead of winter, when you just
HAVE to do SOMETHING, and racing is not an option.
If you can make the same power at LOWER rpm,
consider that your engine will last longer, with
fewer "failed" runs for engine trouble.....
As Shane points out, technique is a BIG part of LSR.
Several of us have noted here that we have "coached "
riders to run the mile in TOP GEAR only, just so
they can concentrate on their "tuck."
This has resulted in runs that are nearly as fast as
using the whole 6 speeds in the
transmission - and a -10mph is about right.
If all 6 speeds are only "worth" 10 mph, how
much is 4 hp going to help a Busa ?
Find a way to practice your LAUNCH and your TUCK
when possible, when you are not in season.
When the season does arrive,
you will be much more prepared...
Still, everything helps, and you are at absolute
maximum now, that the 4 HP is peace of mind.
Besides, good dyno numbers in February mean
more confidence in the season.
