no, I don't mind at all....the procharger itself was 5300 bucks (including the 300 dyno tune). That was a couple yrs ago, i'm not sure how much it cost now. I had it on my stock engine and it put out 121 hp/108 tq at the wheel, basically doubling the stock hp. Ran flawless no problems at all...but i have this small problem of wanting more and more so that is why i tore my whole engine down and rebuilt everything because it would cost alot more doing it step by step(granted i saved money for it for about a yr b4 doing everything)

Cool thread-
Just was browsing and saw this. Don't post much here but that Rocker with Franks' Blower set up is the real deal...I'm a N/A HP freak but his set up's with that pipe and tune will smoke just about any VTwin it runs up against. No doubt the street race happened-I've raced a ton of them over the years (taking it to the track of course, but I did street race for money years ago against imports with my HD and know them very well). I do play with them occasionally now but never where anyone is around. Launching from light to light is just about an 1/8 mile measured on the track.
Fun experience, and love your confidence to want to run with anyone, any time.

Sorry man but I've had all kinds before this Harley, and even with a supercharger it aint happening.
Stock Imports with an average rider (not Gadson Pro types) run mid to low 10's at the track-trust me, I've seen them hundreds of times.
Here's an RC and a CBR battling in the 1/4-

Here's my heavily modified, lightened, stretched no bar, street tire, daily driven, naturally aspirated, licensed, insured, reliable, street HD FXR getting beat by a stretched arm, modified Busa'-(I'm in the right lane)

WHERE IN THE HELL DOES THAT COME FROM????

to all of the guys who are over analyzing this...if you have a sport bike id be happy to line em up....

I don't understand how this thread has turned into such a "nahhhh that didn't happen" thread....

All i'm doing is sharing what happened...most of you guys don't even realize how fast a 191 hp 165 tq harley is....yes, i know, crotch rockets have the top speed and the cornering won no doubt, but in the straights i don't think so....
Like I said, I'm sure it happened, and your bike is fast, but keep it real-
saying "in the straights i don't think so..." Put's a bulls eye on your back. There are plenty of bikes out there that will whip you in a straight line, or any which way you want to draw the line.

trap speed

Agreed-would love you to take it to the track and roll out EZ from the line so you don't break anything right away, them hammer it and see what it does. I'm guessing, high 10's.....

Then again it sounds like this rider either was not trying or did not not how to shift quickly. It is simple the simple formula of who ever has the highest ratio of HP per pound is going to be fastest. The weight of the rider counts too.
Agree weight is super important-so is rider, chassis, HP, TQ, tire, gearing, etc, etc...

Or a turbo busa or zx-14. You'd have to go back to the engine shop before you're beating one of those in the straights.
LOL..yeah, you are right, but most of those bikes are hard as hell to launch with terrible 60' times. I don't know if this guy can really ride and launch this Rocker with this huge HP, but if he can, he might jump them the first few hundred feet-

It sure don't...but when big HP talks, only a fool won't listen-
Far lane-me getting taken out by a dedicated drag race bike in near lane. I jumped him on my hot rod street bike but his nasty beast still got me on the big end...

Well now I would like to see any stock 600 run a 9.9 and those hp/tq numbers are great. After I sat here and read all of this bs. Sounds to me like there are a lot of jealous people here. You don't run across Harleys with those numbers everyday good luck with your build and enjoy it.
