  1. Hi
    Has anyone managed to squeeze a little more Horse Power from their 900ss?
    Looking for subtle tweaks, if any.

  2. Won't it be the usual airbox/ exhaust / ecu flash for 8? Seems a common theme!
     
  3. There is engine work that can be done too but return on investment would be negligible. Imho reducing weight gives better value.

  4. never done anything more than a stage 2 dynojet kit, kn filter, upgraded coils and micron exhausts (on my old ss, current one standard) but there was a noticeable gain in power. not dyno'd but just before and after feel...
    not sure how id quantify the gain... 5%? 10%? dont know, but way better mid range and take off and obviously sound!!
    the only reason ive not done it to my current ss is ive not found any cans at the right price...
    ive heard some say removing or cutting the air box lid is beneficial but ive had a couple of mechanics who were involved in racing the ss tell me they didnt agree...

  12. Maybe an error crept in somewhere as does sound high for a hemi 2 valve 900. There once was a garage in London by the name of Elaborazione Colasuonno and it had a rolling road installed that got regular use with many "before" and "after" claims on Italian machinery. My mate Barry always called them Esagerazione Colasuonno.

  19. George Baines sorted my old 900ss, awesome performance, and handling. My latest acquisition won't be getting that attention. She arrives tomorrow.
