110 deg sounds very retarded to me - do you mean 100?

After my recent cam experiences, I wouldn't dream of installing anything at over 104 deg, and 100 seems about right. That engine needs more top end, so I recommended 104 for Mark.

A bit confused...
:?

At 110* it should have a ton of top end and be a pig down low. :?

OK, if Mark is at 101 now, then he won't gain too much by going to 104-105, but will a little. Maybe there are other problems besides the cam...

The car actually runs pretty good now... he wants MORE POWER!! :twisted:

We knew the cam was a little "light" for what he was planning but it was the hottest of the cams he had.

When we first got started on the Guzzi project, any running engine was a big step forward for the car... so we put an engine together with the best parts he had on hand.

One year later... the car is now better then the engine we built for it... I keep telling Mark that it's "the right problem to have".... and run it! :lol: :wink:
