With the kit parts installed and before the cylinder head was shaved, we saw a healthy increase in peak power along with more overrev. This run is with VP's U4.2 fuel and is shown against the curve for our stock '08 test bike. As impressive as it is, 119 horsepower isn't enough to compete with the full-on FX bikes; other Triumph teams are reporting as much as 130 horsepower from their engines. We dropped our engine off at Hypercycle with a request for Carry Andrew to "work some magic," and he delivered: The rebuilt motor was much stronger. Unfortunately we didn't have a chance to get it on our dyno-we'll explain why in part II of the story.
