I have yet to install my Harrop kit, but I can't imagine wanting more power than what the 11 psi pulley will give me. I tend to push my cars, so ringing out the power is a norm, and with more, I doubt I would need to or could use more power. I can't imagine needing more power unless we are talking high gear, high speed, highway pulls, which are not even on my list of needs. At least for the canyons, I can't imagine needing more power; maybe at the tract, it would make sense for long straight aways, but I equate the experience to people wanting more power on motorcycles.

With my Ducati Monster 796, I have all the torque I need in a usable spectrum for the twisties and sub 100 mph speeds, which is all I care about. The allure of a big displacement motorcycle is always there for highway pulls, but that makes up 1% of my riding that more power isn't worth it or needed.

I am assuming I will have the same perspective with this platform. The reality is that the engine is stretched already after adding 50% more power. The platform just doesn't seem capable of taking much more than 100% more power over stock, especially with the way I drive.
