There's gotta be a lawyer amongst all these 100 series owners. If not, we can poke our heads into the 200-series forum...

Back in the day I raced IDBA. 25 years later I still tell the story.... 1428CC big jug KAW w/10X cams, 50mm side draft Mikuni carbs, throttle stop and rev limiter maxed, 12" wide car slick and air shifter = first 200' was better than any product or offering on the market (including sex), PERIOD. Crossing the finish line at 152 mph in 8.87 seconds. 60' time of 1.14 seconds. It was a rush and addicting as hell. Every week I was trying to go faster and harder. Work my ass off all day and wrench all night.

Oh and I'm on my 3rd marriage................ , I've calmed down but still love HP.

Andrea is awesome! She keeps TT going strong and keeps me in line these days. She approves of the boost mod!

1.14!!! That’s nothing I’ve experienced. On another note. I have support from my better half. Just makes me crazy that she always asks for a stock cruiser.

Alright I’ll ask, turbo or supercharger??

Turbo. There is a reason that no major auto manufacturers use superchargers these days. It’s more efficient to spec a turbo.

Uhhh what? Ever heard of Audi, Jaguar, Volvo, Cadillac, Chevy, or Dodge??

Sorry. Modern current models. Cadillac CTSV Wagon is still a favorite (supercharged). Let’s go 2019 and newer. Look at the Cadillac line, Audi Chevy and Dodge even Jag. All turbo.

Underdog Racing has been selling a 4.7 supercharger kit for several years now.

Can’t wait to see the progress, J

 

[TRAIL TAILOR]

Turbo for the win for me.

High pinion housing is ready and the 80 knuckle balls are headed to the CAD engineer and will be set for milling in a couple of weeks. 4130 CrMo billet will be the standard for my knuckles.

Getting my practice in on the 60 UTE 54 gallon aluminum tank so I can build my 20 gallon "water tank" for ELE...

Thanks man! I'm feeling better and getting around to swinging 60# slider rails again pretty comfortably. I just ordered enough materials for 25 sets of 100 sliders and that will be the true test for me physically. If I can make it through that build set I'll be getting back to bumpers again.

We just rented another 2000 sq ft of shop space in our complex and TT will be morphing again. It's an ever changing monster.

We looked at moving completely out of state again, but decided to just buy a "R & R" home elsewhere instead. I plan to take more time off and work on more complex builds and parts moving into the future. Trying to get away from the rat race part slinging gig, it's becoming more cut-throat and has become who is the loudest salesperson. I let my customers sell my products by word of mouth and actual real time experiences. I've always answered technical questions and custom build specs on a one on one basis so the customer gets exactly what they need/want, not what a MFG thinks a mass shotgun solution might be for a product/customer base... It truly is an unappreciated endeavor.

I dig it.

I would rather build custom Cruisers from the ground up any day than sling parts. It keeps things fresh with new ideas and challenges.

I recently got a 67 LBP build in. It’s nothing crazy or over the top but will be super fun.

Cheers
