You should be in the high 50's horsepower wise depending on cam timing, exhaust and fuel. 60hp is a tough number to hit for anyone. Not sure if anyone else has hit that number (not on the juice) other than Tim's built motors. I think soon we will see a few builders that will hit it other than him.

In drag racing it is not about all out power. Ask Speed1b. I know he regularly spanks bikes that have an easy 20-30hp advantage according to Tim. It is all about setup.

My 495 threw down 56hp on the dyno with just a slip on pipe and people thought I would be disappointed with that number. Not at all, it is a MX bike that I RACE regularly and it is not all about peak numbers for me. The torque and HP under the peak is what I am going for. I know with a full pipe it would have been 2 hp more and with duals it probably would have hit 60. Every little trick needs to be pulled out to get 60hp

Ive had my eyes on the haulers for a while but i havent really gotten suggestions from people with how good they work. I did acquire a fox shock for the duals and am getting my gas tank fabricated for the fit also. Well than i will have to get ahold of steve. Oh by the way

Yea i was figuring around 57ish with duals and being high compression but we will see i guess. Maybe one day i will go with a big 495. Ive heard all along suspension setup plays a huge roll in it and have been looking into a little bit.

cough cough 60.

What do you mean your gas tank to fit? The stock tank fits just fine with Duels.

When i talked to wistech about it he said there was something he had to do with it for the duals to get the clearance and fit that they needed.

wow, thats too bad. The duels I have fit with the stock tank just fine. I wonder why he is having clearance issues.

Because he is trying to eliminate bends which rob power.Why do same as others when you can possibly get more.
