lol good one!
Just a little update. Spent time with the FCR this morning. Thanks to Weston confirming my thoughts on it's jetting needs, she is tuned in. I love this carb on this engine Huge power improvement. Current jetting:
58 pilot
2.75 turns out on mixture screw
3rd notch up from bottom on needle (has 7 notches)
195 main
To put this into perspective, Weston's (if I'm remembering correctly) has:
52 pilot
165 main
When he tuned it with stock displacement & S1HC
He will have the 252X1 cam in (same as mine) when he gets the engine back together either tomorrow or Monday. It will be very interesting to see what jetting changes he will have to make. At that point, the only things different will be displacement &bore/stroke which = more cylinder volume.
C/R will also effect jetting.. But just you saying this goes to show that you should have way more power then dunner.
The other thing to consider is you have a flat top race piston with very little skirt and also is super light. So that right there is going to have less drag then say the wiseco with a larger skirt..
Did you have to change cam timing is yours?
Pat has about 11.4:1 comp, I have right at 11.6:1 so its gonna be a close race.
Now I never got to completely finish jetting it, that will come this week.
Should be interesting, the motors are identical except the stroke. Should be a interesting race!
I rigged up my degree wheel from the exhuast pipe bender on the crank bolt. Initial cam reading was 8* advanced. I decided I wanted a little bit of advance, so I got it down to 3*. I felt safe with it there. I could have gotten it down to a half degree since the cam sprocket goes in incraments of 2.5*.
And the bore^^^

I like running that cam 5 degree's advanced or so for just a little more bottom end, mid range with out giving to much top end.
