Joe
my Hayabusa has 220+ hp and it ran a couple mph faster than you so you have
to be in that range.
I don't know if your areo's are better or worse than mine but if your making
240 hp prob. worse
Rick
PS I just put a Nitrous system on a stock Hayabusa and got 260 hp to the
rear wheel.
want to see a dyno sheet ??
