Furious Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 There's a great TTS Rotrex supercharger kit for the Rocket, as well as a guy up in PA who is doing a ride in, ride out 230hp all motor conversion. The 2300 is amazing in stock form, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2300 is amazing in stock form, anyway. Pretty sure you're referring to Bob Carpenter for the motor kit. Carpenter Race Engines, Berlin NJ. That's with stock size motor...Bob said he thought 300HP was possible with more work. For turbocharging, Brian in SD has kits available.

RichardCranium Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 ROFL. Nice sig. I forgot I even said this: "Geez you whiney zx14 riders are just like the gays. Don't get all upset when someone doesn't treat you special or give you extra consideration. Being gay doesn't make you special. It just makes you gay. Likewise, riding a ZX14 doesn't make you special. It just makes you gay." - RichardCranium Every great once in a while I can be a funny mofo.
