[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 185867, member: 98"] this will be interesting build .....torque sheesh hooch has torque big time over 1200 stock bikes ...big time torque against any bike ...if i had to really try and judge the power curve on the hooch bike ...yes it will hit mid high rpm in todays standards id say 10,000rpm ..but you have to consider gearing ....if you run that high it takes you passed the best spot to start out in the next gear...i usually never go past 8000rpm before shifting gears ....its my belief or opinion the longer stroke of the 1200 motor adds torque lower in the rpm ..super usable torque ...something you dont want to pass by going to far into the rpm of the gear your in ...my experience is really just in 2 and 3rd gears ....1st gear is way to wild to play with safely and i also feel power is in the zone it could tear up something big time ...with the parts like totally non existent i always get rolling good before i add power to first gear ...like roll on power thing .... personally big runners and SCC set up has no weak spot on my bike ...the carb is quite big also .....so its my opinion the smaller intake valve will probably cut torque a bit ...witch might be a good thing LOL....when you can run around in 5th gear at 1200rpm and pull out of it with no balking from the motor thats torque in my book ....if there is anything that i might do that i thought might bring even more torque and power it would be modding the linkage even more than i have already to kick in the second barrel on the carb sooner ....im rather sure the motor would just eat it up [/QUOTE]
