More power???
I am looking for a way to get more power out of my 883. It seems to me that CCs arnt the issue but it needs more air/fuel in the cylinder. Many jap bikes have less CCs but more power with 1 carb per cyl. Does anyone make a twin carb setup for sportsters?

Not a realistic way to get more power these days.
At least not cost effective
These guys can set you straight on Sportster performance.

My Sportster runs pretty damn good ride now (better than my FXDWG), but in the near future it should be running much better.
I've been in contact with Dan at NRHS, and I'm looking into having a "turn key" transplant done. Where I just drop the bike off, have them do the conversion, tune it up, dial it in, etc.... The 'estimated' prices they have given me for the turn-key conversion are excellent.
Now I just need to decide if I want to go with the 1250 or '88 conversion. I'm not looking for the highest possible output, but something dependable, with great low and midrange horsepower/torque, and at least 100 RWHP.

Carbs are the most expensive way to get the least amount of power. I am not sure what kinds of mods you have on your bike, but slip ons are better for power than most exhaust systems out there.. And simple things like rejetting, and air cleaners make a big difference. Stock jetting on the sporty's sucks!! I have never rode an 883 but I know from my 1200.

Great for racing but not the best for cruising.
They make power by reving very high rpms.
The V-twin is a low reving high torque engine,great for cruising but a challange to get big power numbers out of but then that's not what we are after in a cruiser.
