im getting ready to order one of these for my 10 fatbob and install over our long northeat winter. question for any motor experts here. is the stock motor capable of handling the extra power? would i be better off just doing motor work for more ponies in terms of long term motor reliability? thanks

 

I don't think the motor is your going to be your issue its the trans and primary that would be in question. I have no idea what these add as far as HP and TQ goes so can't help you with a direct answer sorry.

Check out trask turbo also(turboyourharley.com of traskperformance.com) they have done a pile of bikes . A turbo or supercharger is different than the normal motorbuild, It makes people look.

 

thanks. ill look into it

 

Being a 5.0 Mustang guy, I have seen and read this exact question, maybe....... ten thousand times. There are more opinions than you can shake a stick at. If it were me, I would do the motor work vs. a supercharger. Superchargers under a hood are a cool for sure, but on a motorcycle, they are a big heat source hanging off the side of the bike. I like that you can take it off and resell it it you hate the headaches that go along with forced induction, and I really like the power they make, but I also question why there are so many 120 plus inch motors flying around vs. very few superchargers. So if you want opinions, do the motor build. And just for the record, I went with the Vortech Supercharger when it came time for me to decide what to do with my Mustang....lol.

Do the motor work. You are going to have to do it anyway, at least I did. I put a Paxton on my 5.9 Durango RT. Shortly there after I heard the rod bearings knocking from all that boost. So I had a built motor installed. Then the tranny went. So I had a beefed up tranny built. Then the brakes warped. So Installed Viper brakes on it,......see where this is going?

Having said all that, when that engine goes into boost, it will pin you back in the seat and I loved it!!! It also got 6mpgs while in boost.

Build a motor that can take boost.
