Default RE: Gas Engine Performance Tricks?

Our peak rpm is too limited to gain much from porting. All of our chainsaw cylinders will support more rpm than we can use efficiently with our big and slow airplanes. A tuned pipe will let you place the peak torque anywhere you want it. If performance is important then get a tuned pipe or a bigger engine. Porting an engine that will use a muffler is a waist of time.
