I'm headed to M-O this weekend to race. Anybody else going?
I'm trying out a few things and uncovered a problem or two in the process. For cooling, I'm running 2-3" ducts from the turn signal openings (one on each side)... I know many of you think it's not enough, but I'm willing to try it out before I run a huge duct. I also replaced by EGT senders with some Westach parts. I was checking to see if they worked and oh, my..... they read a lot higher than my other senders did. I'm guessing the old senders were not the right calibration to work with my Westach gage. I still have to do the alignment, I'm removing some camber to save weight.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) |

I know the power drops off at 6000 RPM... but if I can run a bit more timing, I can stretch that a bit. But, I need to get the CHTs down to do that.
Brett donated the valve springs, so I'm not really sure what the rev limit is. Based on your testing info, I was thinking the same thing about the deflector on the bottom front of the engine. Good info!!! |
