Well I see two separate nitrous systems , so thats 2 stages 100hp plus 100 hp
Thats what we used to run on one of our drag bikes
3 stages on another turbo funny bike 100 in throttle for launch , 100 shot for 2nd gear, and 50 more in high gear ( 3 speed Jerry Korman trans)

It isn't licensed as of now. It was but haven't had any time to hardly look at my bikes this year. Way too much work and not enough free time this year. It's very streetable though. I have only had it at the track once a couple years ago and made 4 runs. First one was only a 10.2. Then I ran two 9.83's at 143 mph and on last run, it stood straight up on me. Had a couple guys who were racing Busa's come up and ask me how I did that and I asked what. They said the bike was straight up and they swore it was coming over backwards but somehow I came down the right way. It felt high but not that high. It came down and quit running so I thought I hurt it but once moving it started back up and idled down track. I moved my legs to see if I could see anything wrong and it stopped running again. Sat back up and it started running again so got to end of track. Once there I checked it out and figured out that the carb had popped out of the manifold and when I moved my legs the carb moved away from the manifold and it would stop. When I sat up, my leg would push carb against the manifold and it would start running again. That ended the day though so I fix that problem. It's a fun bike to ride....love that sound of the turbo...

As for the engine, starting on top, the head has had some clean up porting....nothing much. It has stainless steel valves but stock valve train. It has a small turbo cam with .340 lift. It sits on 1200cc turbo pistons with o-ringed cylinders and a copper head gasket. The crank is a welded Z1 crank with a crank support plate and the motor has HD cylinder and case studs. The trans has been back-cut also. Has an MTC snowflake lock-up under the polished cover. The turbo is an old ATP turbo kit with a Mikuni HSR42mm carb. The velocity stack was custom made and plumbed with nos. The nitrous kit is for ATV's and only set up for a 43 hp shot. Wired up to use while at full throttle and only while I push a handlebar mounted button. Haven't used the button yet. Been told that a turbo basically doubles the HP of whatever the nitrous would be on a naturally aspierated motor so it would essentially be a 80 hp shot....according to a builder who knows nitrous.

Nice bike, If you push the button, Make sure you hold on!

Wow, just wow.

Here are a few more pictures...

Holy shite, crazy story, I love it! I only ever went to the track with my bike once in stock configuration with pipe and jet kit. I made a few passes before the sweltering heat got me. Zrx1200r though. Ran consistent low 11's no matter how I got out of the gate. The traction is scary cool feeling amazing that when we throttle hard on a regular street although the tire doesn't feel like it breaks traction, it must cause my front tire stayed up a bit pretty much the whole time down the track. It's a great thrill. Maybe next season I'll bring my bikes there to play a bit. I'd love to see what my kz can do in the quarter. Congrats on the bike man, a real go getter. I love it.

Happy Hot Saturday Morning KZR members !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
