"Also 3000 rpms isnt wide open not even close the redline is about 6500."

By definition if 3000 rpm is your torque peak then that is with the throttle wide open. I've never seen a dyno run done with partial throttle, at least not for purpose of measuring HP and Torque peak numbers.

"I truly hope you are kidding with this statement if not then you we really don't have much to talk about until you learn a little bit more about the subject. "

OK, some might (might!) be able to beat a 600 supersport in a drag race. None of them could touch a 1000 supersport in a drag race, certainly.

You are so far out of your league at this point it is pointless. How did you come to the conclusion that you have to reach your torque peak or hp peak with the throttle is wide open? Do you even understand how they are produced?

I could and I would do it with a less than 100ci motor. In fact I have a 77shovelhead sitting at my shop that I would be willing to be would beat out the 1000supersport. I will admit though I turned the 4speed tranny into a 5speed by taking the tranny out of an old gpz and machining them to work in the 4speed. It's also naturally aspirated. Hell it's one of the worst motors designed by Harley and it has been getting raced for about 20years now. Again I don't think you really know what you are talking about, which is no problem but you spend a lot of time badmouthing the Harleys where it's obvious from your posts you know every little if anything about how a motor actually works and produces power.
