Now your Buggy will not only looks cool, but will also go faster  that still has to be seen, don't jump to conclusions yet oh, hey Lee.. ha ha ha  Well I worked out I need 40cc chambers to get a CR of 9.3:1 - Any thoughts?  drill heads 1mm and that could be enough to get 8.5 or 9 |

just read this for the first time, slick work monkiboy! cant wait to see pics of when the intakes are finished.
Si.
Cheers dude Like I said before I could have done this ALOT easyier AND quicker but it would NEVER look as cool Now your Buggy will not only looks cool, but will also go faster that still has to be seen, don't jump to conclusions yet oh, hey Lee.. ha ha ha Well I worked out I need 40cc chambers to get a CR of 9.3:1 - Any thoughts? drill heads 1mm and that could be enough to get 8.5 or 9 Thanks Nicolas - I was going to measure the chambers just out of interest to see what I already have but I am just gonna give them to a local engine/machine shop and just ask him to set the chamber at 40cc which equals 9.3:1 |

Why Not get as much BANG as possible I also worked out 42cc gives me 9.0:1 and 45cc gives me 8.60:1 |

You are probably right and I will probably go for 45cc/8.60CR That should be more than enough I'm not an expert as you know, but I don't think it's good to have so much CR when you plan to drive it on long trip as SCC, Bad Camberg, EBI etc. On the other hand, your buggy is lighter than a sedan, so maybe there is less constrain? What do the expert on the forum think? |

it's called evolution. did you know that the biggest step forward in the last thirty years in better performance and better economy in reasurch has been the angle at which the valves are cut? so you should still be good with your parts. but i reread the hotrodbook and they are very much against dragracing with SPG's but you knew that. anyway do i need to get worried about you whooping my ass bigtime or do i still stand a chance?

Lee's undergoing a studied 'devolution' which is fine but you can't install even vintage parts with just a rock tied to the end of a stick. No matter how hard you hit them. |
