Charles, just one (idea). Leave well enough alone until somebody like you
gives realistic feedback on the soup-ups, including their eventual
down-sides for street applications. The V-max is a factory-built hot rod
with plenty of room for improvement as far as optimum trap times are
concerned, but don't expect something like a blown 426 Hemi to perform well
in city traffic. Trust me. Jacques

I'm prepared to admit that the non V-boost max can outrun a fully tuned S7K
with K&N individual filters and fully open exhausts up to the 6000 rev.
mark. Why do I say this now? well I happened to meet a non v-boost max ( a
good friend of mine ) and after swapping bikes and trying his I can
seriously say that his max pulled stronger than my max under the 5000
revs.

first try and I allow the bike to take off over the 6000 revs and keep
going always maintaining the rev counter over those revs, the other max is
clearly a loser.

terrific torque from right under, behave like a two stroke with a very
narrow power band width and right up at the top?

the sweet mellow idle and plenty of torque as you slowly accelerate. What
on earth are we doing with the Max? Why can't we have the benefit of both
worlds?

to regain the lost low end torque and the smooth idle.........
