Default RE: West .50V1 bench run


ORIGINAL: proptop

The Webra .50 is .900 bore X .780 stroke, so it's over square...

Just exactly what are the differences between the Weston and a stock Webra .50?
I have been told it is a higher timed version, kind of like a Webra Speed 50LX if you will.. makes perfect sense with the peak power range and misery when propped under the high teens.

It was too cold and miserable to continue today, I stuck it out far as I really felt like. But I will have another go tomorrow and see if i can't dial it right in. I was posting this mostly because I've encountered a couple of folks who have or plan to have these engines, but you don't get to see them run everyday at the club fields so I thought this might be interesting. And I might also fit the Genesis pipe and compare; the main reason I am not using the Genesis pipe on it is at the moment is that it weighs more than twice what the open pipe does, I like the bad attitude sound it has on the Demon, and the polished Genesis pipe looks really sharp on my Sprint Cat (that's a boat).
