He said he built the motor for all motor drag purposes
and claims u can go well into 10k rpm
is that possible with that setup?
Whats all the fuss lately about revving?

If you make the head ports big usually you need to buzz the motor high in order for the head to start making power....

The key is small port and to maintain velocity or increase it!

With cam gears you can dial the power band down because its cool revving to 12,000rpm but why when you can make the same power at 7000-8500 rpm?

Besides to rev to 10,000-12,000 rpm you need alot more money in ultra lite everything and not to mention more refreshes more often.

This is in my point of view.
