Maybe Rodney can chime in here but I know these are some very early passes w/this motor and every pass Jon leaned harder and harder on the button. Rodney, you were telling me you guys saw some insane speeds there??

An example of something that could only come from the mind of "MR" Wright.
Congrats Aerotech and here is how you think outside the box.
I forgot I had this shot. I think this is a block I sold Jon but w/goodies screwed to it I never even thought of.
To me, here's what a motor looks like w/no rule book involved and a brilliant mind in the shop. Love this shot!!
That is mechanical fuel injection from an airplane and an intake spacer made from wood among other things.
Check out the mid ;) Pretty? Why :cool:
If you look close, you can see the steering cables going to the rudder too.
Rodney, this ones for you my Brother.

I am in awe... :eek:
There you have it......even Mr Wright ran yammie ignition on a loper. If that doesn't tell you looper guys something I don't know what will. Awesome pic, thx for sharing.
I have to ask...if there aren't engine rules, them why not install individual expansion chambers? Production mx bikes are making over 55 hp (crank) from 250 cc singles. One time I saw a dyno test where the power fell in half when a straight pipe was installed instead of a chamber. And the yamaha gpr1300 made big gains just going from a shared expansion chamber to one/cylinder (triple pipe).
You will never convince Gary to run it....Quote:

That still only gives you about 1500 RPM of range and is OK on a 100 lb hull on an oval so you never bog the motor/boat bellow that.
On a drag boat, it needs to idle in gear at 1500 then pull cleanly to 10K.
Joe, soon as I need one......
See what I mean? :D:cheers:Quote:

so cool,wow.....................Quote:
