Longboard,

I am stoked for you, this is sweet!

I cant wait till its opened up a bit and tuned right..

Santa Barbara is not far from where you are, and actually my sister lives in Mission Viejo. We are down your way about once a month or so.

I would sure like to see this beast in action, we must go for a motor!

Also, as soon as the info on this head and mods is available... I am making up an excuse to come down and see my sis. I will be the guy standing in front of the shop with my face pressed to the glass door at 6:00am waiting to get in for my turn!

Very nice...

Jasun

Was there any explanation given as to why the torque and horsepower lines didn't converge at 5252 rpm? HP=torque*rpm/5252

They converge at about 3600 rpm. Seems like something is amiss.

No, you need to look at the scales being used on either side of the chart. They converge at 5252rpm.

Here is the collector engineered for the head and cam.

Those are some sweet numbers, Longboard.
Looking forward to see the numbers from the rest of the mods that you have planned.

That is a sweet piece of hardware, and with the numbers he's putting down,
it works as good as it looks. We need more info.
