Input wanted: pros/cons

[pappabear]

Here we go; I am super competitive adrenaline junky. I have done motor work but looking for more. My goal is to have a 10 second scoot that I can drive cross country.
I am thinking about adding a pro-charger. I want to get everyone's opinion ?

Thinking of going with this:

Makes no sense to me, but if it turns your crank then I'm happy for you. From a structure/engineering point of view I wouldn't think a stock framed bike would be meant to handle the kind of torque this turbo kit could generate. And unless you're cruising around a 2 mile oval realistically where could you (lawfully) drive the speeds and experience the bursts of acceleration this mod would permit? So there's my input.

I like this supercharger blown-bagger

What you describe, a "10 second bike" and "cross country" is two different bikes, or get a Ninja and plan on a sore ass.

I like that Hulkss, instant horsepower from the shaft drive!! But the inter cooler on the right side would probably interfere with my lower fairings. But it would be a huge increase in torque and Hp!!

Old mike.. I think a 10 second Glide is very possible. Plus I'm done with the rice rockets. My frame isn't but for those anymore.

I like the Thompson blower. We saw a bike yesterday that was running one of these. Looks so wicked that if you ended up in a drag race, the other guy would just admit defeat by forfeit. Blowers can be tuned to be daily drivers or all out race machines.

I don't like turbos because in order to be effective, you have to run a intercooler, which is bulky and difficult to mount on a bike. Blowers also look and sound better.

I agree with Ripplingh20 that a guy could get himself in a lot of trouble on different levels with a bike putting out that kind of power and street driven. But yet it would fun.
I agree that a Huffer would be better than a turbo at least in my book.
Whatever you decide to do I'm sure all here would like a final report w pictures and results

My service manager has a 13 SG with one and dyno's with 163 hp just sick!
