Dinqua, thanks again for your work and answers to my questions.
I'll be installing 2mm larger intake valves and 1mm larger exhaust valves. Do you think your carbs will be big enough with the larger valves? Man, I sure would like to spend less than 1400 on carbs and get similar results.
I'll tear my engine down in the next couple of weeks (or whenever I get the valves) and wait until it's back together to actually buy some carbs.
thanks again!
