Could you be a bit more specific on the Cam and Heads?

Desktop Dyno gave me - 513hp @ 7000, 436ft lbs @ 5500, But that is just guessing at the Cam and Heads.. So those numbers prolly arn't what you will end up with.

Ok i dont know anything about the cam. But the heads have been shaved about .020's. And the intake valves are 1.94 and im not sure on the exuast. Sorry for the lack of knowlege at this point... BTW im sure those numbers are a bit high (i hope so anyway LOL) i was looking at about 325-400hp. But if thats what it is.....ill take it. hehe


Thanks man.

Hmm, Flattop Pistons.,,, 58 CC heads.. .020 Off the Head surface...

your going to have a compression ratio around 12:1

I hope you havent actually bought any of this stuff yet...


I give that motor 20 miles bfore the detonation Kills it.

I doubt it, scince that motor has already been in about 10 races. (its a spare race motor-circle track) And if it did not blow then, then I dont think its going too. It was turning about 6,500 rpm too...

if its got alot of compression than it will just ping/ detonate like crazy on good ol' pump gas. They run 110 octaine racing fuel in those...

if you find a large unknown stockpile of leaded gas, than buy it, otherwise, your money is better used elsewhere.
