Ok. A littlle update. Keep in mind this is all in fun for me and my friends. So I took a $25 super tiger 45 and cut in the 180 and 60 timings. Not much change on the bench. (My mistake there.....maybe). So I went with what I knew and shoved the pipe down to 10 from plug to end of divergent cone, .010 clearance, and cut out thew low end needle and the spray bar back to the center of the carb. Mounted the engine to a Viper 500 and OH Yeh!!!!!! It's what I call third stage! I went a little higher on the timinng and you have to barely pinch the fuel line on the ground to get it on pipe. I think I can lengthen the pipe or go to a hotter plug to get it to turn on quicker. I would be interested in transfer timings and overall duration of crank and exhaust.

Again, thanks so much for the help and it was cool to finally hear one of these things rip.
