I've read through these posts and all I can come up with it that rider weight must make a huge difference. Does anyone know if there is a formula for lbs. to horsepower or lbs. to time/ et difference? For instance if there are 2 riders each of equal ability. They do the same 60' etc... and one of the riders weighs 170lbs and the other weighs 250, what will the time difference be or how much additional HP will the heavy rider need to match the lighter guy. Am I coming across right. Make sense? Let me know if you guys have any input. Anyways, here's my best timeslip ever from tonight (Thursday) at Irwindale: Keep in mind I'm a 255 lb'er. R/T: .493 60': 1.648 330: 4.366 1/8: 6.538 MPH 113.29

They say 17 to 20 pounds is a tenth slower. Was that time with the swingarm extentions? I took my stock 2003 Kawasaki 636 to the track and ran 10.29 at 131.57 in a hell of a head wind. 6.52 at 107 in the 1/8 mile I went a 1.58 60' time on it . Stock Sounds like you need to leave harder. You should be in the 1.40's in the 60' with a six over arm.
