    I developed these stacks for my own CBR1000RR engined race car to provide strong peak power without throwing away loads of mid range, having ran them myself along with a few of my fellow competitors I'm now comfortable offering them here.

    The stock stacks are weak at the top end and tend to fall off/ run out of puff. These pull hard to the limiter as well as providing an overall smooth curve providing everything else is optimised and mapped accordingly. A lot of the aftermarket stacks are very short and only run well right at the last 2000rpm.

    This is a Dyno curve from a stock engine with full exhaust and my stacks, otherwise standard (UK model)

    I can offer these for £200 Inc post/packing and will provide fitting instructions. This makes them a very competitively priced alternative to everything else out there and as they take a long time to make, and took a long time to design, I can't justify doing them for less.

    Any questions please fire away.

    Nope, 95A shore TPU. Massively better vibration resistance.

    You disagreed with a question? :D
    Interesting you went with TPU. I would have thought it was too soft.

    Not sure what you're getting at, you asked a question and I answered it??

    95A TPU is only semi flexible, it's not soft at all. Especially not with a significant amount of infill and wall thickness.

    I tried some out of ASA which is similar to ABS and found them a bit brittle. I could make them out of Nylon/carbon blend but it's quite a bit more costly in materials.

    I asked ABS? And you clicked disagree. Semantically does not make sense. Those buttons mean something else.

    As a 3D designer/maker myself I was curious about the choice of materials. I have used TPU 95 and 85 for a few things, I find 85 a good goto for makeshift grommets, and 95 I’ve used for under mirror blanking plates for the Ducati.

    Have you ever tried Nylon? I bought a small reel of strimmer line to experiment with, but haven’t found the time yet.

    I really like the 95A TPU as it is so strong, massive layer adhesion and vibration resistant. It made it the safer choice for me as I was concerned about the brittle ASA/ABS breaking up and being ingested by the engine... Yikes! The only downside is how much slower it is to print :(

    I've tried nylon with carbon fibre esun filament, it prints quite nicely but it is imperative to keep it dry. I have been running it out of a filament dryer at 70degrees.

    I think it is one of the most hygroscobic printing materials.
