I know for for a fact the limiting issue was the exhaust. Tinkerer was gettting around 83 out of the same engines with a heavy Scarab III. Only difference was he was running lightning exhaust, better than Gils, but still a far cry from a true header. I've got two sets of Eickerts waiting to go on this spring. I'm not going to make any other changes and I'm willing to bet I pick up 5 mph with that change alone.

Did I read a post that there has been no word from Cam Motion yet in regards to lobe issue. If I were them I would have made this top priority.

I would have put that money spent on some porting into the "exhaust fund"
My effort was spent on improving the chambers for better more complete combustion and flame front, valve job work, and guide clearances etc.I wasn`t concerned about flowing an extra 10cfm because it wasn`t going to make a difference in a tank. I know you think this guy is the best but I think it was a waste of time and money and not giving before and after results is shady. Sorry, not sorry:D |
Dan, the port work was done because I know someone that can do it for me way cheaper because its a friend, it was not a waste of money at all, as I stated the exhaust will be done when I can. the heads are off now, needed a valve job now, so why would I not port them if the offer was presented and get flow numbers? I absolutely did not waste any money. again you guys are hating on me doing things better, kinda cracks me up. not even sure why I post anymore on the engines, I like others enjoy talking and learning, but I sure am pegged s a fuk up when I post what I am doing, build myself, and learn... again love the support lately... back to hating on FF for trying to do things the right way, maybe my guy was fine not flowing them before, I mean after 40 years, maybe he knows what he is doing? but you guys know because you don't know him... just the fact I know him makes him idiot and he sucks.

with people still telling me I am a f up and hack I don't see posting much more about them, I am not gonna offer post and discussion to get told my guy sucks when nobody knows what the results are..no matter what I do, OSO does not approve so why bother.
