After reading this test several times, I'm looking for more specifics and trying to fill in some scientific gaps. Read this first. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/3842/66430.html?1090474658 When reading about the FAST intake, Englishman said that he redirected the PCV hoses out of the intake tract along with the IAT sensor. Q1: What effects do you think PCV gasses have on final horsepower/torque numbers? Does it change the numbers? On the SVVS stack Englishman writes that the downward facing cone and velocity stack do not 'line up'. Q2: Is this coincidental? Would this variance impact final numbers? Q3: What improvement do you think a 12 airbox lid alone would have yielded with a stock stack? Q4: Is insulating the bottom of the airbox truly squeezing extra ponies out of 'thin air'? (deliberate pun) Corey writes that his claims of 6-7 hp were utilizing an open type of airbox system and not the entire lid. Q5: What does this modification alone yield assuming the SVVS stack was not in place? FIRE AWAY! | ||

On the SVVS stack Englishman writes that the downward facing cone and velocity stack do not 'line up'. Q2: Is this coincidental? Would this variance impact final numbers? It in fact copies the positional relationship with the stock stack and the stock XB12 airbox cone. Q3: What improvement do you think a 12 airbox lid alone would have yielded with a stock stack? This was already addressed and on a dyno showed a 3hp gain on an otherwise stock XB9 and a 5hp gain on a race kitted XB9. | ||

Venting the breather lines (on Tubers) is supposed to be worth 1 free HP. |
