You joined 3 months ago an your trying to say 10hp lost is nothing. I'm pretty sure it's 10whp loss which is a lot. That's losing over 10% over a stock Gen1. When a proper exhaust an jet kit can gain over 10% whp. It's been proven for over 20yrs.

I don't an wouldn't give anything. It's hard enough to be competitive with a almost 30yr old bike. But I make it work, anything from a dig to 90 or 100mph. I can make just about any bike worry about losing. Unless they have launch control with finger up shifts.

2.02in 1.64ext valves double hump heads cannot compare to even the cheapest china heads today. I've never seen a 2.2" intake valve, that's over ½ of the bore diameter even if its bored .30 on a 4" bore.

I didn't know Blueprint Engines had there own Blocks now. I still have a 70's 351w with 25yr old iron Dart Sr heads. But the only thing Ford is the block.

A lot of People don't realize what a sub 2800lb car can do with 500hp.

Is it the angle comfort your setting or leg an arm movement. I went with forward controls an a 2" riser with angled...
