I am just curious why you don't want to meet up with Nut and get this all out in the open once and for all and clear the air so that we can all know how everyone runs.
Just curious. Not trying to slam anyone here just an observation.

Rcoop,
I sent you an invitation as Tracy said to come meet me at Albany. I just assembled a very competetive stockbore, stockstroke in a light weight chassis last night and am preparing it for Albany this Saturday. I thought this would be an excellent opportunity for us. I thought for a second that you were going to come, then you decided to go to Florence.
No big deal, just trying to facilitate something so we can get together and work some things out[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
I will be at Albany on Saturday if you choose to come.
Ron
PS - the only time i said i wasen't going to race you was when i thought you were a 70 year old geezer......thanks to a little bad intel, lol.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Now that i know we are both in our prime, no problem. Come on over[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

DSNUT, your correct in saying the stroker motors will make more torque later in the rpm curve. But if you know anything about drag racing, you wouldnt worry about trying to pull that torque in the upper gears such as 4th or 5th simply because you want to shift only one time in 300ft and for this, its not as imperative to have as much torque in the upper rpm range as you have stated.

You never said this was your bike you kept saying we. What chassis are you running? Have you tested this one yet ? I'm glad to see another racebike on the west coast good job. You planning on racing more then once a year now ? I agree with you the technology is there for very fast even high 70's with a stock bore but it will take a lot of work and time that no one has put in yet.

I don't think you will run a 3.7 with only 1 shift. You might do 4.6 with one shift and you might do a 4.1 with a stroker with one shift. To get the early acceleration you need with a high hp, relatively low torque lightweight setup you are referring to, you should be tapped in 3rd by half track. You will have to pull 4th.............IMHO.
