a guy here in roc has one on his 02 gsxr. at 6lbs of boost and a really small turbo it pulls the wheel up in 6th gear and runs in the 9’s.only prob is making sure you have someone install it that is really good with it. think about a half ass job on a bike… oil spills on the rear tire and your going down. ---

Quite a bit harder to get those times lower. I’m sure the top end is where they show, when you aren’t worried about looping the bike and burning the tire into a highside. Not to mention he didn’t say what size GSXR, and comparing an '02 to an '09 isn’t exactly an apples to apples comparison either. ---

It is a lot easier to run 9s and pull on zee highway when you have 50-100hp more than the guy next to you. Especially if you’re adding only 40lbs tops. ---

There are tons of boosted zx10rs on [zx10r.net](http://zx10r.net). If the gixxer forums don’t have any good info then you could sign up there and ask. Those guys are always super helpful. I wouldn’t bother unless you’re getting an extended swingarm IMO. I’d rather have traction and pull like a freight train than doing 120mph wheelies. ---

Also IDK what year gixxer, but it may be a giant PITA if you’ve got a carbed bike since you can’t put a power commander or bazazz unit on it. ---
