Thank you. I have not figured out much.
In the early days at Maxton the only change I could make was to increase ignition timing. Then compression with forged Pistons. And I had a choice of fuel.
Advancing the timing allowed me to increase jet size and make more power
Increasing octane seemed to help control knock. But at a 115 octane the power began to drop. 118 octane and the engine would not run.
Once I got to the power pint of damaging parts I could melt a spark plug tip. Repairing the damage decreased compression because I had to clean up the combustion chamber.
It was sort of two steps forward and one step back.
In 2007 the top speed of a 250 ninja was 108 mph. In 2009 I had it up to 110mph.
Nitrous changed the game. From there it was two steps forward and two steps back.
