Still impressive!👍🏻👍🏻

We don't use calculators, we use dyno's and time sheets. LOL

Just looked up the max intake port volume allowed for the 68 302/230, what I saw was 130cc, is that right?

Looked up the 64 289/210 and saw 155cc?

What did I miss?

Thanks

Unless you run at a DA of zero or negative then you are racing with (less) uncorrected HP.


I do have those 1 line calculators that produce those high HP numbers, they make people feel good about the engine they built. But if you run a good computer program which simulates your run the HP and et / MPH match up pretty good.

Let me just add, Larry Meaux's ETA is a great program for analyzing time slips if anyone is interested in this kind of software.

Nothing, that's what it is. Many years ago, people submitted heads to be poured and that's what they came up with. My cast Iron heads are ported to the 130/49cc spec.
