Tom you are always right, can you imagine how fast this bike would go if I did not have to deal with all things you listed?

Alp,
You and your Triumph engine land speed bike are all wrong!

The motor's undersquare  bore to stroke is antiquated

The stroke is too long for sustained high RPM

The hemi head combustion chamber has too much surface area

The camshaft lift can't be enlarged because the cam will hit the tappet guides

The rocker arm ratio can't be altered because the pushrods will hit the pushrod tubes

Even if you could improve valve lift, the exhaust valve would hit the intake valve at overlap

The 2 bearing crankshaft is too weak

Your carburetors are dinosaurs

Your exhaust is too long

Your intakes are too short

Your bike is too high

You are too big for it!  You look like a gazelle on a bicycle!


Tom

LOL!!!  Maybe that's where we screwed up.  Instead of trying to do everything right we should do it wrong and go waaaaaay fast.
Get off the stove Grandad.  You're too old to be riding the range.

Here is a list of pushrod engine bikes, I'm not sure what the ECTA numbers are, anybody who knows can add those. But my antiquated engine is in there too. Unfortunately without a fairing at this point.


I heard that the ECTA does not measure/seal the motor so we can run in multiple displacement classes,, If Bonneville does not happen and if I can find a sponsor I may come to Loring which I heard is nice.

Having run Nitro Methane for many years there's only one rule to follow. Do everything right! Nitro is very unforgiving to mistakes. Congrats on the success you have had.

No kidding, that looks amazing.  I love the cradle/brace for the engine.  I wonder what that does for modulus of the crank case.  Sure can't hurt!
