DNA is on a distinguished road
The DNA Stage 3 Air Box Kit first results!

Hi Guys,
Saturday evening I am back home after a busy and noisy day on the dyno!
Today we completed all the final tests concerning the DNA stage 3, we already had tested a modified XT 660 X (RAPTOR CYLINDER, PISTON & CAM) on Thursday�,
so we expected good results with the stock bike also.
The DNA Stage 3 Air Box Kit is designed to be used on highly tuned bikes that need a high flow of air; but what happens if we use it on a stock bike with a stock exhaust?
Can we offer it as a single choice for customers that will choose to stay with the stock exhaust and want to increase the power and torque of their bike?
If afterwards an open exhaust is added what is the result?
I hope the following presentation will answer all the above and more, for all of you that are considering the DNA S3.
The workflow:
a) The stock bike is tested on the dyno to achieve all the base readings, Power-Torque-A/F Ratio.
b) The stock air box removed and the DNA S3 installed.
c) The bike now is tested with ONLY the DNA S3 no fueling modifications.
d) At this point we add a PC3 USB and map it using Dynojet Tuning Link and dyno the bike again to see the result.
e) Now we install a set of Akrapovic Open Slip On�s and dyno the bike again�..?
Attached you can find the Power and Torque graphs.

Note: that the S3 we tested was missing the side covers, but it makes no difference because the side covers are completely open (perforated) to allow the air to flow unrestricted.

Photos of the complete kit ready to ship and pricing, hopefully, we will post on Monday or Tuesday as we are still waiting some parts to come in from the powder coating.

At this point I will not add any comments or explanations, instead I expect you to send me your comments and opinion.

Thank you all again for keeping us motivated, with your interest.

Best regards,
