Got some CFE stuff here to for some changes, bet that goes faster too.
But who is to say that that is their best stuff ? I don't think it is. In fact im sure its not.
And if someone took your stuff to them I am sure they would improve it. What are the chances someone is bringing the latest stuff in to be worked on? This is a moving target and if you cannot improve on last years stuff you are left behind.

I'm considering switching from an orange engine stand to a black one. Any estimates on how much I can expect to pick up?

In the Norwalk Pro Engine Stand class, about 7 hp. The biggest gain will be if you go from a three wheel to a four wheel.

N/A or Boosted?

To calculate this use a bell curve determined by multiplying the drag coeficent of the wandangle against the hypotenuse of the elongated triangulated port design as computer generated in hypothetical cyberspace using a modeling program that takes into consideration East Coast air.

I've heard it's actually very simple once you get the 'ol calculator out...

I'm sure someone here knows how to do it.

I probably should go ahead and have my orange stand dynoed first so I have good baseline to work from. I think I'll just put some new 572 stickers on the valve covers in the mean time. That should make it really fast.

If John M is only doing .1% Then why does he have a waiting list to get something made. His welding and fabrication is Fantastic. Maybe I should give him my CV-1 head and leave him do what ever he want's to make it a killer head.
