<font size=3>This has the potential of being a historic event that will
define WBX discussions for 20 years into the future. <br>
<br>
An opportunity to get some real comparative data and put to rest all of
the speculation and theory. <br>
<br>
Or it could be just another single dyno result that we don't know how
really compares to other dyno results. <br>
<br>
Lilly, and you 1.4 people, and chip-only owners, email bob at
bostneng@FCL-US.NET and get up there!<br>

The camshaft upgrade is very minor It is a regrind of a stock camshaft so
this limits the amount of fine tuning of the lobes that can be done. The
way this is done is to make the base circle smaller. I personaly have
Dyno tested 1,4 ratio rockers on stock type 1 engines the gains where 6
horse power that was above 3000 RPM when I put a heaver dual spring as
suggested by Bergs the power dropped by 3 hp Mr Lilley says the gain is
threw the power range but he has no data to back his claim other than the
Berg catalog statements of increased over all power. I have posted the
flow charts from my flow bench testing of the stock and large valve heads
AMC waterboxer heads with lifts up to 500ths on my web site
<a href="http://www.bostonengine.com/enginepricelist.html" eudora="autourl">http://www.bostonengine.com/enginepricelist.html</a>
look for the flow chart link on the stage 3 engine. I have improved flow threwout the valve lift and the increase in power is pleasing <br>
I am Chassis dyno testing the 2.1 Big valve engine next week in Walpole Ma and I may be looking for fairly fresh well tuned stock 2.1 engine to compare the #s to drop me a email if you have the time next week on the 19th I have space for one van. I would really like somebody with ratio rockers to try it with and without to put this to rest. The shop I am working with has been burning chips Don't know at this point if he can copy the ozy chip or how thats even done. He is burning chips for the newer VWs. I will report my findings and post it for the world to see no charge. <br>
Mr Lilley come on up and so me the power <br>
