I have an emerald ecu, gsxr 750tb's, home ported head, skimmed head (slightly higher compression) and 4 into 1 exhaust, not convinced it is a great manifold as unequal lengths and the runners are very long. When it was being mapped losing the airbox would have gained another 4bhp, but don't think it is a wise route! Having mapped it and run it through gt power at work, there was negligible benefit from any of the standard aftermarket cams, that didn't require piston pockets cutting!.


I have basically the exact same setup but with 260 newman cams and as you say mine only makes 4bhp more at 173bhp when mapped at emerald but does make this peak power at 7000rpm. Do you have your RR print out? I will add mine tonight, be interesting what if any the advantage of cams actually are.

That's what I'm doing over winter.
