Does this sound right?

I am thinking of buying a drag bike when I sell my bike, its a 7mill K&T Drag ported stock cylinder, 18cc domes, 38mm carbs, shearer BB OOF's, lock-up on 110. The guy said it pulls 95-100 HP. Sounds abit high to me being on gas? I know K&T builds a mean motor how close to true do you think that is?

Its the first bore with 795 series

 

I would say 88-90hp absolute max on a crank dyno. K&T does build wicked stuff, but I just donts see enough displacement to make those kind of numbers consistently. I do know we recently crank dyno tested a 6mm, 460cc, resleeved, and torque ported cheetah motor with pro circuit pipes and saw 92 hp. It made 87hp with ptr mids. This is all speculation, but I bet that K&T bike is really fast.

 

Look at it this way, the superior sleeve 10mm+ stroked motors back in the mid 90's made 110hp on the dyno. You get to a certain point with a stock cylinder (470cc-510cc I think) and you just cant move enough air and fuel through them to make a ton of hp. Thats why we saw the introduction of the 4-6 different aftermarket cylinder setups that are now available.

Yes thats about what I was figuring, 85-90 or so. He doesnt have an override and claims that it shifts just fine with the lockup, but I would think 100hp would shift like shit without an override. If I do decide to get this bike (If my bike would hurry up and sell). I will be switching it to alky and putting an override in. As it will be strictly a drag bike for me, and if I can set it up just right. I might actually win some drags at boxcar on the big weekends.
