Hey Bill
Nice video..I like your comments, I listened carefully. You say some interesting and honest things. Like the bike runs pretty well in pure stock form to start with ....or after you make a change, you tend to get used to it, so it feels the norm....etc...
Just to beat the hornet's nest with a stick a bit:
IF you read the manual from booster plug....It states that the booster plug is not "effective" during closed loop operation. That is, during closed loop operation, the o2 sensor is doing the "final" judgement on Fuel Air mixture ratio...in effect overpowering the booster plug. (the booster plug enriches the mixture only during open loop operation.)
Open loop operation happens, typically during start, warm up, idle, acceleration, and deceleration. These are the time you don't want to be too lean...so booster plug may be helpful in keeping the fuel on the rich side.
Close loop operation happens during steady state...like steady speed, steady RPM, steady throttle position.
Sooooo
During a long steady climb....the air fuel mixture is determined by the "stock" o2 sensor, not the booster plug.
Just sayin'
I've watched some videos of PCV install and testing on the road....the guy ran a baseline test, with the bike stock, ran in 3rd gear....3000 rpm....then WOT...up to 14,000. Timed it.
Same test, but with slip on exhaust and PCV with a pre-packaged map for that set up. Ran the same test, same road etc.
Got from 3000 to 14,000 in 0.9 seconds quicker...substantial improvement? More scientific test?
Of course a true scientific test would make many, many runs, and graph them, or average them together, to eliminate outliers, etc.
