IIRC he's running a tri-power intake & carbs.

Cant remember exactly which tri-power intake though,for some reason I wanna say it is one of the aluminum repo pieces.

But dont quote me on that fact.

I dunno if I would feel that the ignition would cause a low hp peak myself,fuel yeah maybe I could see that,seeing as an engines power output is based almost entirely on it's BSFC (brake specific fuel consumption),and if that tanks,the power typically goes with it.

But yeah,anything is possible really,so I would'nt let anything escape my scrutiny.

I kinda ponder if he was running it with some of those tiny trips air cleaners on there,and those maybe were a bit too restrictive or something???

I dunno,but I know there's an answer for sure.

There's more power lurking in that thing right now,I'm sure of it.
