Default RE: another darn ryobi post (ryobi performance modification, analysis and comparison)

I plan on procceding with my engine building and testing today. In a way I do it with kind of a heavy heart as I feel I was knocked pretty bad in another post.

http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_8545703/tm.htm

I dont know if it is understood how much time and work I have in this. I think my bolts and nuts are just about worn out from assembly and disassemely plus the money that I have in this.

I know my test procedures are less than perfect. For example today it is windy outside. I have no choise but to test outside. the tach will not work around floresent shop lights and my shop is flooded with them as i belive in a well light shop. My worry is that the wind will help unload the engine or falsly load it depending on which way the wind is and skew my test numbers.

At this point I am wondering if this thread is even worth continuing if this is how most of you feel about my efforts. I hope that you guys understand that I never intended for this information to be a matter of fact statment of this mod will provide this and this part will provide this. I was merely listing my results for your comparison and see if others have had the same results in a little better format than it seemed to help gain power, but rather have some numbers to back up the claim of improvement. there has been lots of good ideas and exchanges of information on this post. And in my opinion while i know its not perfect i feel it has been very usefull to others.
