I've been looking around the web for ways to increase the HP on the Talon beyond an exhaust and store bought tune. Im building mine to race in an N/A class that has no engine restrictions other than no turbos, superchargers or nitrous allowed, so the sky is the limit. In my search I came across a couple companies that look promising if anybody else is intrested...
WWW.JSDMACHINEWORKS.COM
-Stock bore high compression CP pistons
-Kibblewhite + 1mm intake & Exhaust valves
-Stock bore 9 - 1 compression turbo pistons
-Carrillo H beam Rods (Turbo applications)
WWW.DANIELCROWERRACING.COM
-Performance Camshaft
I think combining an 11.5 -1 compression ratio piston with a slightly decked head, to get closer to 12-1compression ratio, combined with a ported head, bigger valves and the DCR camshaft would be a kick azz setup for a race motor. Tune it with VP110 race gas so timing could be maximized, and I bet that motor would ripp!
Another thing I would add to a wish list would be bigger bore throttle body's and slightly bigger injectors.
A few years ago I sent my KTM throttle body to a company in California, based on my dealers recommendation, that bored it oversize, profiled the throttle shaft and installed a new thinner larger throttle plate to fit the bore. They also installed a bigger cc injector. I had the bike dyno tuned at the KTM dealer after and it was an impressive difference with no other mods. I could see the Talon benefitting from this same modification.
Thoughts?
