better brakes

[Randy Grein]

No, trying to keep up with the Pinkstaff kids. I haven't seen your  
dyno chart, but if it's like the others (peak power around 9.2-9.5  
with a substantial dropoff after that) wringing it's neck will make it  
go slower, not faster.

Keep in mind however I'm talking about minor short-shifting, not what  
you'd do for a sunday drive. A bone stock '03 dyno chart (shown here: http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/photos/RealityBikesDynoHP.jpg 
  ) shows a 3 hp dropoff from 9,200 to 10 grand, and looks like it  
would drop another 3 hp easy before hitting the rev limiter. Drop much  
below 8 grand after the shift on that bike and you're left behind, but  
it would be tough to keep it above 9 grand except in the 5-6 shift.
