harley_sr Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 Well I am a beliver!!! I have a set of trinity out of frames, and some rocket pipes inframe. NO BS the rocket pipes almost cut a full 2/10ths off my time at the track... I did not change a thing, just unbolted the trinity pipes, and put the rockets on, no carb adjustments, or any thing, just straight swap!!! If you have been thinking of getting a set, GET THEM!!!!! I also out run a R6 street bike in the 1/8th. Now I am not saying he is a pro rider, but he is a good rider.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roosthrower Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 you aren't just piped and jetted right? cause I'd call bs on you beating an r6 if you are just piped and jetted. still two tenths is a pretty good gain. congrats.

PyRo_ZaCh Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 haha, i was on the phone with my friend, he was tellin me hes gettin T6's and will sell me his T5's and not to get rocket pipes because they dont give the bottem or mid range, and only beat t5's by 2hp in top end, I love how some people think. he was telling me about a home powder coating kit that comes in a spraypaint can on this same phone call so . . . needless to say i dident belive him to start wih Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 he was telling me about a home powder coating kit that comes in a spraypaint can on this same phone call so . . . needless to say i dident belive him to start wih actually i have heard of a DIY PC kit. uses an aerosol can or something and then you use a heat lamp to set the paint. dont know if it really exists but someone was talkin about it on here once. but other than that your bud could be a dumbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we only raced the 1/8th, I know he would kill me in the 1/4. I am not just piped and jetted. I have a new top end, .80 over, trued and welded crank, PWK 28mm -Slide carbs, Uni Clamp on filters, Noss Head w/20cc domes, 112 gas, I have a mild port job, More of a polishing, made the intakes smooth as glass. Now I have some other little mods such as billet impeller, timing advance plate, and some other little things. I will be at the track tomorrow night, and will post some time slips. My clutch is slipping a little so I will get slip for tomorrow, and I will get some new ones for next week when I get my clutch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roosthrower Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 I don't really think you have to run 112 race gas with 20cc domes. I was thinking along the lines of 93 mixed with some race gas. also, why did you polish the intake port? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyRo_ZaCh Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 well his story was you spray it on and put power over a paint or glue. . . he claims thats how profesionals do it. . . i did see something about doing small things in your oven, my guess is he saw something dident read it at all and just made his own description of what it was, any way i'm guess the rockets give way more power all around than his t5's do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I got 112 cause the shop that sells it here was out off 110. I normally run 110, and thats the lowest octane they carry.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loganskinner Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 (edited) i love the look of rocket pipes. i suppose i should look into a better engine first. and when you port and polish you are supposed to leave the intake a little rough to help suspend the fuel/air mixture... at least thats how it is when we do our chevy 350's... but thats a totally diff engine so it could be done differently.

broke Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 (edited) The pipes are great. I just got my second set this morning. I would put them in the class of CPI's. Although I will agree with everyone else and say they do have more bottom end. broke Edited August 30, 2004 by broke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
