//if it was me i would leave the power because its a beast anyways, and id spend the coin on carbonfibre, lighten her up, special light mag rims, all trick ohlins, and make an already super-powerful machine handle and perform better. as much fun as it would be in straight line pant-shitting shenanigans... wouldnt the other be more usable, helpful and safer?

//my 5cents worth

keep us posted.

Thanks for the input everyone

I say with turbo charger, but with smaller turbo. Aim to have it spool up by around 5~6 thou RPM and a flat torque curve all the way to redline. And not much more power than the stock bike. Then it'll be linear power that is very usable. I think the turbo system will be easier to run as well.
