Hey Chong, from that article it was clear the super pipes were good on the small bore motor... it wasn't my reaction to extrapolate that they would be good on a bigger motor. But I guess you have it from the horses mouth?

Settle down... :lol: the mere mention of HP and you guys are a pack of vultures :lol: :P

The fact is, Graham doesn't know how they will go on a big bore. He has never tried them. Mine will be the first big bore to try them.

willy: supplier: Graham Russel. They are CUSTOM made to graham's specs. No one else carries them. He has only a hand full. Give graham a call. If he realises it's you he will raise the price :lol: :lol: :lol: Just kidding :wink:

We will try these vs Maniflow big bore and small bore and big bore 3 into 1. Needless to say it will be a long dyno day :wink:

Well done mate... I'd move your engine though... I had PLENTY of access to it when I was there... muhahaha

I do wish Lillee was ready for MDU though... would have been nice to see there.

Peter.

you say the torque curve is the most important factor here well i think you may be suprised to find that graham russels cams dont have a torque curve at all. only a TORQUE LINE, everyone of his cams i have used and dynoed have just been a straight line not a curve as you see on the uk dyno sheets.
where did you get the metro head from???????
i hope my oneis still sitting on grhaams bench ready to be ported for my race motor in the very near future.lol

Location: Sydney - strangely, I am glad of the sight of hills!!
i've lost track of my head (Graham seems to know where it is, or maybe he is just bluffing) which i left there around April or May i think, but i know where my valves, springs and manifold are. and i found my flywheel and pressure plate last friday after it went "missing" for a few weeks :lol:

Chong spends more time with Graham than his wife does atm :shock: every time i go over i see Chongs smiling face :P

From the sprite engine we watched on the dyno on friday, there is a lot in having the right distributor, and it not being worn, and Graham has his own opinions on the "best" distributor as well. Might be another article just in that.....
