If it was so easy to make this type of power with the 1190, the teams would have been a lot more competitive in WSBK. Also, they were blowing up engines routinely, even at the low power levels. I can't recall any team with more DNFs.

In fairness to ebr and larry's team and the like, the amount of engine testing and design the big dollar teams would have done before their engines even got to see the track, more than likely many more engine experiments, failures and success alike, much would have been learnt out of season. Ebr's on the other hand would unfortunately not have had the same r&d team.
In 650ib's interview with erik, at around 3.05 minutes, erik mentions how in street trim the rx makes more than the rs, however the rs with race cams, lighter pistons ect. has the potential to make more than the rx engine. Makes sense. https://youtu.be/iyZ250_eIyM

Would the 1190 engine respond well to a power adder (nitrous, turbo, supercharger)?
In short, no. Not without internal modification. 13.4:1 compression is extremely high and far outside the normal sweet spot of a boost or nitrous application.
Would 100 unleaded race gas bring out anymore power?
The bike has the Race ECM and HMF pipe.
Umm, yeah, it will. 220+ hp easy with mild boost.Originally Posted by qurtrn10
ANY...boost and or nitrous requires a different cam profile to work it's best.
Will a given naturally aspirated cam work under pressure, yes, but a cam "designed" for either a blower or nitrous will work MUCH better.
Not even counting the lowering of the compression ratio. Unless you want to run blown alcohol, then 13 to 1 is actually a little light..!
