Its more about hoping not to induce knock with the high compression / keeping a better safety margin and where I know its safe. 

So my ignition and fuel adjustments are very aggressively keeping things on the safe side if it gets hot. 

The motor got a lot louder and felt a bit flatter at end of the straights.

Also since there's no oil cooler its more like the oil put heat into the block, then the coolant cools the block. 

So in a round about way keeping coolant lower keeps oil lower too.

So far its been good at keeping the radiator temp to a decent level.

What decade are those prices from?

We were at repco yesterday, I asked the guy at the counter if he had a good party the night before. He just gave a slight nod

Higher octane usually helps if you are unable to keep advancing the ignition timing, because the engine is knocking or very close to knocking.
However in this case the motor made its best power on dyno without knocking at all. So there's a bit of margin on 98 octane. 
In which case I dont think 100 octane would help. 

E85 might give some tiny tiny gains from charge cooling or whatever but it's unlikely to be worth the hassle.

Just saw something on Extrude Honing AFM

How Extrude Honing Process Uses Putty to Increase Car Horsepower

 

They squeeze a putty fully of silicone carbide particles through the runners to polish them

For some reason it made me think of this project

Any idea what the drum vs disc rear end weight difference is? If not would be keen to read about it when you do it :p

I'd also be keen to understand if it gives you slightly better braking performance, remind me are you getting any brake fade currently? In saying that swapping out pads each track day is surely easier then swapping drum shoes?

Hopefully sideskirts make a difference, I think they look good though.

Curious on how you utilise the filter options and see what you come up with.

Weight difference for disc rear isnt too much. The main problem is it means i cant fit my skinny 13s on the back for drag day anymore.

No brake fade at the moment, but i think currently the fronts have been doing all the work. To be honest it amazed me how good the braking was.

But will have a bit more grip available now, so can hopefully lean on the brakes a bit harder.

Im a bit nervous about changing too many things at once from last time, as it truly was amazingly good with such a simple setup.

Will take some fuckery to make it fit securely but its pretty sweet.
Also, the tiny wheels/tyres are friggen sweet. haha
 

Looking forward to seeing the 3d printed carbon wrapped MSPaint CFD optimised solution you settle on

This continues to be super inspirational.

I'd been looking at streamliner bodies for the Hayabusa haha. Can't say I have seen one of those on a bike in NZ

(Good reasons for it too, like being gay, but I still want it)
