IMO from here I would looking to go to a more aggressive clutch and trying a different header pipe combo.....I believe the engine is really designed to be a Buggy engine for use on open Euro style tracks....based off its timing profiles and exhaust to intake port volumes its going to be very top end oriented so I would be looking a longer manifold and a more torque oriented tuned pipe, a aluminum clutch would also help some as well....
edit.... If you wanted to to cover the shipping I would be willing to take that engine and test it on the dyno and see what pipe/header gives the best powercurve........shipping is $45 back/forth for DHL next day........
hmmmm... Im baffled. What would you call the crank then in this picture? Like I said before rear hard coated, balanced and filled. Correct me if Im wrong but truly my eyes don't deceive me so you'll have to explain. You say a long header now?? Thats what I always figured with this engine but you suggested a 41001 for the bottom/rpm. I mentioned the 41020 as an option but ain't made of dinero. You know I run an aluminum clutch with a pretty aggressive stall now with equal tension. I am happy with the 9886/41001 except this combo the pipe rests on the fuel tank its ridiculous. So a good suggestion that replicates the 41001 that fits better I'm all ears. I love this engine but its not suited for the tracks I run on unless I gear down to 48/13. I've got eyes on the new Triton RC engines next and will be sending one to you
wat do ya think?
