My Motor is done and ready for the dyno...
Well as the title says, the primary race motor should be on the dyno late this week or early next week...im pretty excited since we spent half the year fighting problems with making power and finally went to the back up motor in early July...last years problems were all related to shody machine work (i.e. bad line bore for the crank, poor cylinder honing, valve seats cut incorrectly)...so this year the motor went to a reputable shop for the head and machine work...hopefully all will go well...the dyno time should allow us to mess with carbs, headers, timing, rocker ratio's, spacers, air filters and things of that nature....not sure if this post was thread worthy but im pretty pumped that we're this far along already; plus i needed to vent to someone other than Timmay

Timmy told me that it was done yesterday. In a few months we get to see how well you can drive with some power under your right foot for a change...
