Thanks for the hard work and shareing the knowledge. I'll buy a cam first . I was just about to bore my TB. I have a current 4hp loss too! I have spent days on the dyno I use with other bikes. It is real consistent. Quit counting the hours off dyno time on my 990 at 18. The berg has three trips. Always dyno with the same street tire on all my bikes. Base on my bike was 49hp and the dyno is at 5k elevation. Each of my first two dyno trips the last pulls were done with the seat off. Always a 3.5hp gain. I did the whole in the seat mod then borrowed a User tool to add fuel. Couldn't get on the dyno at the same time I had the tool so I winged it and added fuel. Previous runs the A/F was 13.0 to 13.6 with the seat off. Now I'm back to 49 hp and 12.4 A/F. I usually shoot for 12.8 but it seems like these bikes like it a little leaner. Considering I'm an old fart who can't hold it wide open vary long I might lean it out. Never fear mate! The HP will come back. Unforetunately you have to spend more $$$ to get it.
So you're bike went on dyno 3 times without chainging anything except a/f settings and now 4hp loss?tahoeacr said:berglsmerg said:Same dyno same atmospheric conditions bigger throttle body = net loss of 4 hp

Or where did it came from???
No stranger to looking at money pits. Working on this Ferrari Challenge team. Frigin 10K for a single brake disc 8O. They told me they throw those carbon discs away when they get to thin. I think I need one for something.berglsmerg said:[ I was at the local Christmas fair last night and saw some old Aussie muscle cars, really well presented machines with all the go fast gear. I caught myself thinking, "Geez, look at those money pits" :lol: Thanks for the encouragement :cheers:

Look at that TB bling
I am curious about your bike contiman get it on the dyno! :mrgreen:
I wil get some (light compared to you guys :mrgreen: ) tuning done on mine in march
maKe said:Not worth doing those mods without mapping. I started to run way lean when I added the FMF megabomb header, and I lost some throttle response down low. I''m not too keen on the UST tool that I had. Sure you can get the injection in the right direction, but without the ability to map timing there is alot to be gained more.
Ever tried the timing map switch? Run it in mildest mode, and the bikes power output feels like tractor. Good for the enduro guys, but on pavement with 17's it's a whole different world.
Why Bergos head? Local to you or no other places? I'm sure there are other reputable engine builders who can do the head. Mine is getting to my tuner on this week along with tb and CP 13.5:1 piston, so he gets the idea what to do with the head.
Anyone ran oversize valves on these heads? Intake looks big enough, but exhaust might like +1mm or +2mm.
Intakes are titanium and exhausts stainless?
