I stated that mostly to confirm that the dyno pull was legit.....I know they cross at 5250.

Back a couple pages is my dyno sheet.....It starts losing power after 5200 rpm and Mario quit revving it any higher until I told him to do a pull up to 5600 rpm.
It still keeps heading down so my intake or heads won't flow enough at higher rpm.
The DRD's might have helped if they didn't leak so bad but I haven't had them looked at again and no sure if I will.

I'll wait for Mario to get his mouse motor going with the CB Panchitos and if he starts getting close I might have to upgrade to them. :wink: :roll: :lol:

I think if I had to go with an aftermarket head it would be the Panchitos.

You dont think losing power after 5200 is cam related?

Better to be blown than to suck!

It probably is to an extent.......Heads might give it more hp in the rpm range up to 5200 and maybe a little higher rpm but since I have a stock crank I really don't want to rev it much more.
If I was on a quest to get as much hp as I possibly can then I would go C/W Crank, Big cam and either my DRD heads redone or a set of Panchitos and then clean them up a bit.
Then I might as well go with a 76 mm C/W crank and thick Wall 92 mm barrels like Keith Branch is trying to talk me into. Put some good heads on it and a bigger cam and I could be up to 300 hp maybe.......
It's a vicious circle.
I'll wait and see what the other mouse motor guys get with their engines before I jump feet first into the abyss.

I do still call it a street car and that is what it does best right now.

I would think the hp it makes is more than enough in that buggy. Plus it sounds reliable. And isnt breaking axles and trans.

I think a CW 69mm crank with 94 super squish pistons would be fun!

I limit at 7500. I'm sure it would go higher. My friend has had his well over 9k. Same stroke and pistons.

This is quickly turning into a, "how big can we can con Art into building?" fest. Fun to watch, but hurtie on his wallet. :D
