Granted I havent written a book. What do I have. FAA Airframe and Powerplant licence. MASTER ASE heavy truck. MASTER ASE automitive. Plus 20 yeary experience in these industries and more mechanical ability in my small finger than most on here. You can call it pseudo or matter of fact or whatever you want but when there is a gain in power that sounds pretty matter of fact to me. I dont care if you take my claims as matter of fact or not. All I was trying to do was bring all of this fragmented information together on one page and provide my and keyword MY results to others for COMPARISON. In fact I have several times it would be nice to have other compare their results with mine and when i explain what i think a good set up would be I always start with IN MY OPINION. Does this sound like a claim of matter of fact? I was tiered of reading where there was a modification and a claim of power increase but no numbers to back it up. When asked how much of an improvement did this make they usually say i dont know it just seems to have more power.

Im sure you are a lurker. Its to bad your willing to lurk and let the rest of us spend our hard earned money and time experimenting and thinking outside the box to try and improve this engine so lurkers like yourself can take our information for free which we gladly give you for free. Its pretty sad that your knocking our efforts and disclaming us just because what we have done is not written in a book. I do undestand that some of the test peramiters ideas and technices practiced here are less than perfect. Most of us do not have the facilities to be able to do this in ultimate perfect conditions. This is why I would like some comparisons from others. I know what gains I achieved but i also know that the imperfectness of my testing it is hard to draw any conclusions. This is why comparisons from other is really important. If I am the only one that gets a particular result then I need to retink my procedure and results. Grow some balls think outside of the box and start contributing something that you have spent some time and money on and not just your half baked doubts. If you dont try it yourself you will not know. Do something usefull and give us some comparison. The only garunteed way to lose is to not try at all.

The rubber reed valve idea I had was pretty outside the box you have to admit. To bad my ignition fried so I will not know if this was a good idea or not.
