    Cam swap

    Shawn~ Do you have a dyno graph of that combination? I'd like to see how the curve lays out for those cams. Thanks! :)

    new cams

    The broken cam may be a bit more difficult to mount in the machine in it's raw, broken form due to it being shorter than a unbroken unit, (the Cam Doctor has it's length limits) but I could probably machine the broken end flat, than a custom fixture could be fabbed to allow the cam stub to roll...

    Shift Light - What Model and how to?

    Here is my MSD Shift Light installed on my bike. (photos below) I chose the MSD Light not just for a cheap prices, but because it had the many features I wanted and it was produced by a well-known supplier that's been around for decades. It's a very low profile design and fits snugly to the...

    Shift Light - What Model and how to?

    It is compatible- I'm already using it on my bike. ;) It has instructions with it that tells you how to configure it's trigger when used with either a spark plug wire, coil trigger, magnetic trigger, Hall Effect trigger or whatever. It does not care where the signal comes from or how, just as...

    Shift Light - What Model and how to?

    That is the *exact* same shift light I use on my bike and set my shift point to occur 125 RPM before the 9500 RPM reline of the engine, so it would give me a little buffer time to actually make the shift. In fact, here's the model I use and it's configurable to many different ignition systems...

    Drag slicks

    OK... Here's the information I received from Phoenix, via Coker Tire- who is a major distributor for the Phoenix brand of racing slick. They were *VERY* helpful in providing me the info I needed without any sales pressure. They have excellent service! If you call there, ask for Carol and she...

    Drag slicks

    Just when I think you couldn't possibly be a bigger ass than you've been in some of these posts...you prove me wrong and raise the bar for yourself once again- you should be proud of yourself nice touch...:icon_rolleyes: Now you state that you're running a 25 AND 26 /6/15 tire...

    Drag slicks

    The cross-section width is the widest area of the tire when it's under bulge from the weight of the vehicle, at the correct operating pressure. The contact patch or "foot-print" is the actual area of the tire that is in contact with the pavement. To put it into perspective~ A typical soft...

    Drag slicks

    I'm not confused about anything regarding the different tire sizes...that's not the issue. I was merely asking you to clarify what tire you were actually using based on your posts, because in your post #2 in thie thread, you directly stated that you were using a 25/6/15, but in your later post...

    You just have the tire Sean once I get it de-mounted and maybe we can trade for something I might need from you later on if that works ok for you. :)
