Jerry Craycraft does most of it I think.

Seemed that 60hp didn't have any problem handing it to a couple quads with 70+. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

I've already told you Klowns that you can't race dynos, especially inertia dynos. Didn't you learn anything from the beating Jarhead gave you at Glamis?? To be clear, it was more than 60 HP and only 3-4 HP less than MichaelAZ's "raising the bar" spare-no-expense Kenz flagship. Jarhead's motor cost a hell of a lot less than $5K, how much did MichaelAZ spend to get beat by Jarhead's Craycraft LCC?? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

Crank balancing is the only thing that I know Craycraft sub-contracts and it's because Fallicon is the best, not because it's cheaper. Jerry ports every single head just as he's been doing for the last 30 years. Do some research on Jerry Craycraft, he's an old school (sliderule vs. flow bench) race motor builder that knows his shiiit. Craycraft Racing certainly didn't "look at someone else's work and improve it" (copy) when designing the Craycraft cam or port work.

You Klowns need therapy.

Just because you haven't seen the other port work doesn't mean that Kenz didn't "look at and improve" (copy) someone else's. Maybe you should ask Kenz??

ubeturd are as dumb as a box of rocks! to say jarheads bike is as stong as michelaz and not take weight as a factor show how much you really know. with a diff rider(close in lbs) on that bike u guys got your a$$ given to u. so to bring up hp vs lbs and you want to hang your hat on the win,what ever makes u sleep at night. u make all these comments about cr vs ken,then why did u not want to race that same bike with same lbs rider? if u pic and chose your races to run u will allways win!!!

As an amused reader of all these posts (and by all means please keep up the entertainment - I only wish I could watch you guys beat the crap out of each other in the Octagon), any intelligent person realizes that none of these engine builders are old enough to have "invented" any aspect of engine building. Experienced, YES. They are merely applying existing techniques to new engines. Isn't it possible that there isn't one best way to port anyhow and that it is dependent on all the other factors such as cam choice, carb choice, piston compression, length of stroke, etc.?

So, what professional level racers are running Kenz or Craycraft bikes? Where can we all read about organized races with these builders bikes involved and the results?

Since you're making assumptions, who do presume that he has copied and improved upon? As for asking Ken, I have. He said that the only head he has seen was a Craycraft. And that wasn't until just recently.

That should be a statement, not a question.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] You're right on the money!

Since high level racing is mostly about sponsorship, I doubt you'll be seeing any top level riders using Kenz or Craycraft equipment until they decide to start sponsoring such events.

As for reading about events with Kenz or Craycraft. Do a search for the races held on this past MLK weekend at Glamis. It may not have been a "professional level" event. But it did have some professional level builders, such as SPARKS Racing, compete. And if memory serves me correct, Kenz took home more trophies than any other builder.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

A few weeks ago in Kentucky at the Blue Grass nationals, 2 of Kenz customers won their respective class(against a Niotrous fed monster, dont know if Rapturd was on the bottle though), and placed 2,3 in another class. The event held out in California every year where hundreds of 4 strokes race, Kenz cleaned up with like 6 trophies(the same year CR had Jarhead come up with 14 talking chit, he went home real fast.) . There are some sand drags in Safford AZ, again he won many classes. Ive got a first place trophy myself from a 2-stroke class. Which brings up another subject Kenz is a full service shop. He can build you ANYTHING, CR can assemble Raptors, thats it. Nothing else. NATA...

As far as I know, the CR crew, and UBETRUN havent won a damn thing, except when racing a bike/rider combo that weighs at least 90 pounds more(Again, props to Jarhead!) When a like wieghted rider got in, the CR flagship got smoked, and there are many people who will tell you that, including other CR customers who were there!!!!

And UBETRUN< what is the advantage of using a slide rule? I would rather use a flow bench to KNOW what is happening, not a ruler and a pencil to see what THEORETICALLY might happen. Hell you have a pretty sweet looking Vette, but compared to a Didge Viper, it pails.. Old School vs. New School..
