I've seen the Procon unit on newbonneville.com but all they say is that it removes the rev limit. This won't help a stock engine.
As Mike says, $245 is peanuts when it comes to customising and tuning these machines. It's not quite as bad as with Harleys, but getting close.
I have a friend with a Harley and he thought Impecunious was a Roman Emperor until he started customising his bike...
Mine has been ordered with Arrows mainly for the looks, sound, quality, and because they're made of stainless steel, my favourite material, and as I'm getting the bike exported from the UK I've asked the dealer to fit them. Not because I can't do it but because the ECU map download that they need. I can't do that.
Vanity don't enter into it. I just like to know the full facts about a product and I still don't officially know what likely power increase these pipes will give, not because I'm vain or power mad, but just to know. Your figure of 6 bhp will do me for now though...thanks Jeff.
I manufacture and market electronic power supply systems and even a tiny 25 watt unit has a 5 page file detailing the most minute details about its performance and specs. Customers demand to know all sorts of things before they fit one of our units into their systems.
To give you an idea of why I'm such a cynic, I'll just tell you that I work closely in my spare time with a Newport(UK) firm that markets certain tuning gear and we have tested umpteen CDI units that claim increased power but make bugger-all difference. Scam-bay is chock-a-block full of +20 and +35 HP "chips" that are nothing but a 0.1 cent resistor in a fancy case...and do fxxk all.
I'm not saying that whoever makes that ignition unit is cheating, for all I know they're a professional and reputable outfit, but I've seen lots that are high in business acumen and low on ethics.
One of the advantages of being old is to have lived through all sorts of fads and fashions. I well remember the power claims of alternative exhausts in the 70's and 80's. A magazine finally gathered several examples in a shop with a dyno and some technicians and tested them all. Not one could give more power than the OE ones and several turned out to be worse.
Same happened to the outrageous claims made for after market Capacitor discharge ignitions marketed to replace contact breakers: Lots of claims not substantiated and under tests they turned out to be false.
I could go on... in fact I will. How many cast iron and drilled discs were sold in the 70-80's to cure the wet weather disc brake lag all bikes were cursed with...? after-market suppliers made millions until the British TRRL (Transport research laboratory) proved that they didn't work and the solution was stainless discs with slotted or sintered pads.
Having said all that, I'm interested in that igniter, the option number 2 will do me, but I'm a bit confused, being new here. I know Pieman is a member but, what connection is there between him and Triumph performance USA and Triumph Twin power England?.
