... something interesting in the works... 2.0L... nearing 400 HP... normally aspirated... on gas...

Very interesting. Pneumatic valve actuation?

Nope, just conventional springs. I am not sure what the RPM band will look like, John Stowe would know better about this but 12,000+ RPM has been mentioned.

Race Engine Technology Mar/Apr 2006 #013, June 2006 #015 & Dec/Jan 2010 #043 have write ups by John Stowe on his dual port design. It was designed to be a "green" solution  but it really likes HP too!

I usually go by chillin' or slo chillin'.  I ride a lightly modified 2000 Kawi ZX12r and I need info.  I'd like to get this thing off the country back roads and on a true straight to see how fast she can really go so here I am.

Hello Racers,
                 New Guy here building a bike for this years BUB meet. There are plenty of questions I have about many things. I hope to get some great advice from fellow racers. Ive been a dragracer for 30+ years and live fairly close to Bonneville but have never attended.That is all about to change!

Hello fellow land speed addicts
I am new to the sport of land speed racing as I just started competing in 2011 at Loring.
Had fun and only lost 1 motor last year
Looking forward to a great 2012 season.

Ok I'm in. I'm no longer a "lurker". I like to check the water before I dive in. Reduces the spinal injuries!
I'm in Lewisville NC, close to Charles V.
Plum Crazy 2010 Challenger, 6.1. The last Maxton show was my first trip to the dance. I should have come the year prior, instead of burning fuel 1/8 of a mile at a time. Challenger is currently getting a cage and seat. Can't wait for the first Ohio meet.

Hello 55chevr
                      I plan on running A-AG 1350cc .I like it better than M-G because I can keep the longer swingarm on. Dont like the idea of only 10% over stock wheelbase in m-g class. that would only allow me to be at 63 inch where as a-g I can stretch out a bit. If it makes any difference I am buddies with Kit Axelson, maybe you know him. He is my freind and mechanic on my Harley bagger, Great Guy all around. Just finished my fuel cell and modified my tank shell 2day, Motor is at my engine builder and it is coming back SICK!!! Lots of cool stuff we are trying.Oh by the way it is a 1216 GSXR suzuki.little shy of cc's but she is a BUSA KILLER.

[55chevr]

I vaguely know Kit. He races Bub's. We do have a mutual friend, Dan Dunn from NRHS Performance in Longmont.

55chevr
Yes,
Only lost a piston during the july race at Loring I really like teflon coated Mahle race pistons.
Reworked the block and put in one new piston and upgraded on the cam then raced both Loring and Maxton this fall with out it skipping a beat.
Gota love home built motors.
