Question Carpenter Racing...

The excerpt below captured my interest...
Anyone have info?

Does anyone have experience with these guys?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Carpenter Racing offers a 210hp upgrade on the Hayabusa that has a $2800 drivein/driveout price. That is pretty good bang for the buck even if actual hp numbers end up being a bit lower. I've heard pretty good things about them, the only drawback being the time you need to leave your bike.

210 Horsepower Hayabusa Package

We've taken our 200 horsepower Street Busa package and tweaked it for another 5% horsepower gain. Like the 200 hp package, the 210 hp package utilizes the renowned Carpenter Racing 5-axis CNC head porting.

The 210 hp Busa package features:

* Hotter intake cam shaft than the 200 hp package
* Custom valve springs
* Additional porting to match new cam lift

This package records 210 rear-wheel horsepower at 111 ft lbs of torque with stock pistons and stock valves!

Using this package Steve Jester has gone 8.83 @ 159.90 mph on motor with DOT rubber and 60" wheelbase!


Complete with Clutch Fix, Air Box Mod and Power Scoops installed

Turn-key: Drive-in, drive-out

Price complete $2800

having reservations about spending as much on a Turbo system than what the bike cost new...

...questioning how much value I place on the fun factor associated with boost...

Carpenter is on the up and up. They put out exceptionally great engines and back their work. I've heard they actually understate their figures a little, and for the busa there are more upgrades you can do later on down the line to get even more out of they set up. 210 to the wheel is plenty.
