http://ev1.dynalias.com:33389/store/item.asp?ItemI D=8110-BF Page 158 of the latest Hot Bike. Stock 07 Road Glide that only has exhaust modification. Base dyno run 57.35hp and 71.97 torque (two passes on the dyno). After pure power filter, pure power oil, and few dyno runs: 66.67hp and 80.00 torque. Also, the lines (hp and tq) on the dyno charts are visibly smoother on the Pure Power run. With two different magazines testing this on two seperate bikes and getting 5-9hp increase...

Are they the same people that make the Famous Electric Turbo Chargers ?  | ||

HAHA! Could be. If there wasnt a couple of unbiased reviews (magazines arent biased right?  ) and dyno's I wouldnt even had bothered to put it on this board. I am just curious cause 8hp for $200 sounds like a deal to me. (Message edited by sci on May 25, 2007) | ||

I tell you what. Go do a couple of dyno runs on your bike for a base line. Change your oil. Do a couple more dyno runs. What happens? You gain HP. What have you learned? Fresh oil is a good thing. | ||

Yes, a different oil filter and different oil can put more power to the rear wheel... But what is ROB MUZZY'S COMMANDMENTS! Don't Sacrifice Power for Reliability! You are simply transfering the energy required to run the oil pump by reducing the pumping pressure and flowrate of oil... do you really want to do this with an air/oil cooled engine??? Heck, you can even use a "qualifier oil" (Redline sells them) that has ultra low visc. and friction -- again, do you really want to use this in an air/oil cooled engine that you ride 100's of miles away from home? Just where did this 5 hp come in at? At high rpm where 99% of the time the engine doesn't run so you'll never get the gain but instead have a less reliable engine. If you have $200 to burn, invest in a track day and you'll quickly learn that hp means little on the street & track... | ||

There are numerous ways to make horse power messing with the lubrication system. The quickest way to get a really hot lap is to use thin oil. Note: an engine runs best right before it goes south. (Message edited by davo on May 25, 2007) | ||

did you notice 15-40 was used with the filter? what was the base line oil? 20w-50 for sure. | ||

I don't believe thy make one that will fit our bikes anyway. | ||

Note: an engine runs best right before it goes south. This is true. I know. Thankfully I found out on an old dirt bike that was extra cheap, and not worth the rebuild. I wonder why that is? | ||

This is good info. I am new at the whole bike thing so the more info I get the better. Thanks Duncan |
