    1190RS #93 goes to Colorado Mile

    Sorry for any hijacking on the Ebay RS carcass, but I lose a little reason around my RS.. I love this machine.

    I'm too old for road racing but I love to go fast, so my RS is going to be a straight-liner.

    Anyway, I have seen growing numbers while playing with exhausts.
    144HP peak with OEM exhaust.
    155HP with just headers(~2 ft. long, good drag pipes)
    157HP with Dean Adams race pipe(Dan let me use his for this bout)

    I will have a pipe from Kevin Drum when I go to Texas Mile next month in Beeville.
    Going to sea level should give me 20+HP so I expect higher trap speed.

    Got thru registration and meetings today, I'm good for <165mph to start.
    Hope to hit at least 150 by the end of the day Friday.
    Also hoping to top out at 170-180mph by Sunday.

    EEEEEE-Haaaa!!!!

    Sweet! I read there is an air strip track in Ohio that is used like that too. I plan on doing that one day too.

    Make sure you take that pipe with you to try it out if he'll let you. If not, let me know and I'll build another one just for you.

    Thanks Dean, your pipe is very nice but Kevin Drum is putting some stuff together for me.
    Loretta will get a boost for her 1190 conversion.
    I got 157hp on your pipe but I haven't done any tuning yet. there are more ponies to be found I'm sure.

    Not many entrants today so I got 8 runs in.
    I'll try to upload pix...

    That is a cool time slip. Is it broken down in 1/4 mile, half mile, and one mile increments? Are you running again today?

    zac4mac,

    Do I take your post that you installed Deans Exhaust without any tuning adjustments? I thought that was very bad for the engine. Maybe I misunderstood your post.

    Yeah heading back out today... running a little late.
    Yes, the speeds are for 1/4, 1/2 and 1 mile. Half-mile to slow down goes fast at 170..

    Yes Dean's exhaust, no tuning(fuel/spark) changes yet, Tim sent me a fat starter map for open exhaust.
    I should have my Drummer in time for Texas Mile end of next month.

    Gotta run, more later.

    Could have used the ebr full race map for their oval can, it would have done just fine with it. Dimensions & lengths are very similar, close enough that I doubt you'd see more than 1-2 hp on a dyno.
