Just saw 2 supercharged V- rods doing low 11's at a local drag meeting. The supercharger kit is available for 7995 dollars Australian & is available now. Takes 6 to 8 hours fit & includes a suitable ignition/fuel map. Puts out about 165 rear wheel hp. Sprintex is the company to talk to.

Got any pics???

Nah. sorry there's no photos. Have a look at the sprintex website. If you are looking for serious performance these bikes are definitely worth a look.

We've being trying to get a couple systems here in the U.S without any luck. Seems they don't really have their act together for export yet.

I spoke to one of the company reps last night though I dont recall his name. I will see what I can find out for you through the week. Probably best to call them direct and explain what your after. Believe me these blokes are really enthusiastic about there work and would love international sales. Company also sponsers a 6.3 second top fuel Triumph that has a sprintex supercharger fitted.

165 HP and all they would do is low 11's? Stock bike with a good rider is mid 11's. A SE1250 will get close to a 10. Check out the Vrod Racing Threads. 140HP should get you into the 10's.

No kidding.....134hp on Project V and ran 10.80 on gas......that was with the 1230 kit......something doesn't add up.....that was in full trim ...turn signals and everything.....

Mike - Was that 1230 or 1320????? - and you are right on the numbers not adding up ...

I don't know.....it was the entry level big bore/stock stroke.....
Heck, I just ride the silly thing.....

Maybe it was turnin' the tire till the 330' cone?

making power and putting it to the ground are two seperate issues.
took me alot of runs to break the tens with a big bore, add in track
conditions,launch,ect. and you get the picture. mph is the measure
of h.p. not e.t..:2cents:

Rick, this was posted on their web site. The runs were planed in advance as a promotion for the product. Note they also sponsor some talent on the strip. I doubt they has 300 pound inexperienced riders on the bikes.

I searched the site for the track but could not find any info on the Vrod times.


1/12/2005 - Sprintex Supercharged Harley V Rods to run down Drag Strip!
Goldenstates Championships, Quit Motorplex, Kwinana - Friday 2 & Saturday 3 December.
2 Sprintex Supercharged Harley V Rods will run side by side down the quarter mile Drag Strip at Quit Motorplex at this weekend's Goldenstates Championships, 2 & 3 December.

If you have a Harley V Rod, this is a great chance to see what the power of a Sprintex Supercharger can do for your V Rod . Come come down and check out these impressive, 160Bhp Sprintex Supercharged Harley's in action.

Sprintex Superchargers sponsors the Top Comp category which will be in full force over both nights. Jay Upton will also be there racing his famous Sprintex Supercharged Top Bike, "The Edge". A record breaking pass is not out of the question so make sure you don't miss out on the action!

See you there...

See my sig, that is way slow considering I'm a novice-

:rofl2: See my sig, that is way slow considering I'm a novice-

:stupid:.......except - considering I am fat.....

Check the bottom of the sprintex page. 11.256 sec @120.48 mph Saturday night.

Both riders are experienced drag riders. The bikes were ridden to the track by their owners and handed over. As far as i am aware neither had ridden a V rod before,they hopped on the bikes and had a race. Times and further info are available at the bottom of the sprintex page.

It is still slow....... especially with experieinced riders - plus if you are doing a promo that you are going to publish you shoulsd come prepared - I did look at all of the numbers and damn I would be embarassed to have those kind of numbers with a supercharger strapped to my machine....... you can usually judge HP by top end and 1/8th speeds - I was never good as a rice rocket jockey - but over 130MPH on 145 or 150 HP with 830 lbs set up - they are only turning 120 - that is not impressive - especially for a promo..... KSP

Below are my best passes with the Rice Rocket compared to the best VRod 1250 as well as the Supercharged VRod. As you can see my lack of skill on the ZZR has me fairly slow out of the hole (even slower than the 60' times on the supercharged VRod) - and even though they are about dead even at the 330' the ZZR pulls awal by .09 in the next 100 meters to the 1/8ith mile and the the ZZR picks up 8 MPH more spped - that converts to almost 11 MPH in the 1/4 - that is the effect of HP - 140-150 HP should produce around 25MPH differance in the 1/8 and 1/4 terminal speeds as you can see in the ZZR run - the Super charged is only picking up aot 22 MPH - The ZZR is clearly ou pulling the super charged VROd - from the 330 to the end of the track is pure engine - with a little aerodynamic advantage...... You can see the impact of a harder launch that comes with seat time in the best KSP VRod pass. It looks like the supercharged VRod has about a 10.8x potential with a solid launch....... my guess is it is putting out about 135 HP - as you can see the stock rice rocket - poorly riden still has it by 11 MPH and the Supercharge VRod's speed is not much differant than my best pass on 1250.... I have actually run @ 119.4MPH best top speed. I would expect more from a Super Charged set-up.

Good comparision Kev :thumb: Overall I think there are a lot of things that still remain unstated for this type of system....reliability, consistent numbers it can produce, increase of low to mid-range power. Possible to add NOS later and it's effect on the system, change gearing etc etc. You never know someone out there just might be working on it.

yep - I believe Paul D and the team at Eagle are playing with a set-up...... and I am sure if they start playing they will make some serious HP.....

Would a engine driven forced induction system make better power at a lower RPM more like a big bore stroker or would it be like a turbo and be slow to make power at low RPM and then spike up at 7000-8000

I theory is should be the same across the range but there must be a point where efficency plays a part..

I ran a 06 SE with a few mods (2 into 2 straight through pipes, PC III, K&N Race Filter, 26t front sproket) for a 6.91 in the 1/8th first time at the strip. Dropped to a 6.42 1/8th @ 103 mph first run with a boss noss 50hp shot. Freely admit to being a newbie at this with only one day at the strip.

Definately dont see what is worth bragging about for a 7.119 1/8th WITH a supercharger. Certainly would not make me want to buy one. (And the boss noss system was under a grand!)

wow, teasing up an old thread... let it die... let it die!
