Have you tried shifting lower......those engines don't make power up that high.

Glenn,
Do you agree that In the video it sounds like it wants more RPM at the shift point?

I agree that it likes what it likes to go fast period.Would need to see dyno sheet to get started on what it might like.

I would say they ought to reverse the 1-2 rpm with the 3-4.

This wouldn't be from a dyno sheet..Just experience.

It will go faster if you get it out of first gear sooner.

This thing is such a dog in high gear you almost have to hold every gear as long as you can, if you shift 3-4 200rpm lower it will barely climb any rpm at all, just sits at 6800 and lumbers to the stripe. I don't know if it's the 1 goofy head thats on it or the cam. Hopefully we get some real dyno time at the end of the year to swap some parts and figure it out.

Something sounds off.........it should be making maximum power right around 6800 rpm.What rpm does it drop to on shifts.

where is the cam center line 105? how much flywheel 35 lbs 3.29 low? 5.38 gear.

It goes slower shifting lower.
