What was your timing measurements on your compared to what Roelof posted? Now from those numbers though and what I measured on my Kangaroo, the Torque definately should make more HP and RPM's up top. The exhaust timing could be a little higher for more top end RPM but I am not so sure that the bottom end would suffer from raising it though.
Hi Brent,
we have raised the sleeve on a Torque by 0.1 and 0.2 mm in order to gain top end.
We did, but it hurt the fuel consumption.
I rather gear the Piccos a bit longer than Novas to get the same top speed.
What also helped to gain some revs w/o hurting fuel consumption is using the Nova medium conical header with the Picco 2033 pipe.
My son is still running with a pretty smooth gas finger (will probably be spoiled soon) and he makes 5 minutes with the Torque, doing the same lap times as other people who run NR Flash and only make 3:30.
This has given us the edge in several races this year and I will try to conserv that advantage as long as possible.
Once he is going completely "point & shoot" and won't make the 5 min anymore, I will start modding the Torque towards top end...
