Nick, I did Bikeman Stage 3 on my 2022 Pro R Ultimate 2 seater last summer - now have about 1,100 miles on it. When installed I did back to back dyno runs at EVO in Phx (one day and then the next after install)- theirs as you may know is a hub dyno - I went from 181 hp at rear axle (all stock) to 211 hp with cams, tune, clutching and RPM 3" chambered exhaust. Seat of the the pants, it has more power everywhere and shows best mid and top end. Its not turbo power, but for reliable instant (NA) power it is a nice pick up over stock. I broke in out in the desert, then went off to St. Anthony for a 7 day dune trip last summer - seemed pretty awesome in the desert - but at 5,000 feet, I was like what is wrong with this thing - then swapped with my buddy for his stock 2 seater - definately a difference - really showed on Chote cherry. I switched the RPM 3" chambered to the Bikeman center exhaust when it came out - I was told it was quieter - both tested 88 - 89 db at idle - RPM at 103 - 105 d.b. at 6500 rev - Bikeman was 106 -107 d.b. similar rev. I ran the bikeman for a few dunes trips in the fall and it is louder than RPM, but not sigificantly - but sounds so much better, and looks nicer, so I decided to keep it on. The RPM 3" chambered with e-valve is the best all around solution - works great open, but can knock down the dbs with e-valve closed to be closer to stock. I wanted that originally, but RPM was having problem with e-valves melting, so they pulled off the market when I needed, so I got 3" chambered instead. Here is a link to a youtube video with a back to back on a 4 seater at the wheels - stock to stage 3. This give you a good idea what it does on a rolling dyno at the wheels. Nice pick up but Bikeman's hp figures are on their shop engine dyno with different exhaust etc. so 75 h.p. may be accurate under those conditions, but it doesn't translate to 75 on the car. No question a real 25-30 h.p. at the wheels and the torque is enhanced as well. For the cost, it is a good bang for the your buck.

Madigan IMO builds great cages and more. I had them do the cage, detachable roof rack and windshield. Along with my Chupacabra mirrors and all my BD lighting purchased from Chupacabra. I am super happy with service from both companies and are top notch in quality as well as reasonable lead times.
For sure the dunes were beat and some rough G-outs. My Shock Therapy tune bottomed out with the red button on. car is going back to ST wednesday to add more bottom out resistance. Hopefully they can get it right this time. Not happy after spending the money for the tune.
@@megadesertdiesel1468 myself and a few others I know have had ST tunes not really setup for aggressive driving… soft and undersprung was my experience… stoked on these new MTS bypass tunes coming soon
@@ChupacabraOffroad yeah I’m not happy about that. I went to them with a list of how I wanted the car setup as I had two other cars done by ST. Well they once again just installed their super soft setup and ignored my request.
Who else agrees- NYE was the roughest dunes they’ve seen…

@@johnm7340 thank you for all this! Seriously appreciate it 🫡
@ forget to mention I got throttle body as well. That is a good add to package for sure.
I need to go to the diner one of these days. Great video

@@fishslayersocal9345 thank you 🫡
Cool putting your son in the vid
After few trips.. adjust the rear chain too
Hi nick what new projects are you working on for this year any big custom builds
Not really, just going to finish this pro r and drive the hell out of it
Nice sponsor.
Were you able to make it to the wall and back on a single tank of fuel?
Yes, from Gecko loop… installing a 6g Evo tank so I don’t have to worry about it

Bikeman with cams and bored out throttle body. shit tons of mid rage pull, running Packard 33" tires. Car slides when i want it at 14psi.
@@megadesertdiesel1468 14psi… so you went turbo? Been reliable?
14psi in tires. No turbo. The tires hook up much more at 12psi in them
