+1 60's are EVERYTHING! Where we race if 60's vary more than 3 hundreths we're on the trailer. Rider needs to show up too. For personal goals when we want to go quicker we try to figure out how to 60 better until our hook factor is below 1290. After that we have to buy horsepower. LOL. Anyways if it helps, on our best 60's we use about 90% of our horsepower. Apples and oranges we're slick and bar guys but... madman is using about 80% on his best runs, no bar... sick. I don't know your horsepower but I think you're using around 60 HP in your 60 ft. Ya I'm bored and into the tallboys too. LOL.I love seeing what you guys are doing with these streetbikes.

Im running like maddnss. No slick no bars. Trying to be more consistent so goibg as offtin as possible to get practice. As it stands a few were watching me and said most were awsome with about a foot of wheel spin and then was gone. Beating most of the japs to the 1/8th

Madnss ya you kill me in the 60' I've got a lot of practice to do to catch up. You also have about 20 hp more than me as far as I can tell. I have never dynoed this setup. Only tuned on the track. Waiting for the track to fix the scale so I can get a fresh weight. But based on last known weight aand times the estimate is in the low 90's.
waiting on the defender pipe to get here and will retune then dyno for max till winter. Then I plan to match your build on my heavy rubbermount.
