I'll stand by the improvements in low speed operation on my ST3 after a pipe and PC3 to justify that there are real world, real use improvements to be had with a pipe. Add in the data from the dyno and fuel map, you'll have a hard time convincing me that my butt's decieving me. |
Yeah, it was great to talk to him. I figured the letter was the best choice.
I think you can get usable gains if you have "3D" fuel mapping capabilities and spend the time with it. This is the trick for me, you have to demand those gains. You may get better response. I think a lot of it could be realized on the fuel side without the pipe anyhow.
If your stock pipe was can deliver the rate of change that you demand when you roll on the throttle adding more capacity to deliver change won't matter. If you roll on slowly, like I do, all the crispness in the world wont matter.
I am a street rider, I don't ask much of my bike. At 70 peak HP, if that, the ceiling is pretty high. I can't imagine a ceiling of 150 HP. I can't imagine needing more HP, more crispness, more anything than is delivered on any stock sportbike over 600cc made after 2000.
That's me though. It may matter more with heavier bikes, 2 up, loaded or in other situations.
