Welcome th HQ SiKgrl!! PUNK PRINCESS....Were a rough but friendly bunch, but feel free to corrupt us at will..Jim

I've got a novel idea! Lets make it where only people that actually contribute to society, instead of continually siphon from it generation after generation even get to vote. That way we wont even have to have this conversation, now will we.

Check out this site...too funny and unfortunately too true. Dial-up users,,,I feel for ya'....Jim http://www.jibjab.com/

That wasn't a documentary, it was a fabricated piece if shit by another wanna be commie.

Kerry's an undecided Nancy-Boy. <<<<<<<, translated...Kerry is quite possibly the only walking human male that ovulates.

Bush all the way. Kerry is a complete fraud and yellow as they come, not to mention a liar, traitor(sp), and a complete puss of a man.

What oil mixture?, If your exhausts look fine its probably just the prelube+ premix. Keep an eye on your trans fluid level, clean up the mess and keep an eye on it....Jim

Heres one for you, see if you can guess this one "thats because you ain't go no Power"...power pronounced POWWWWEEEERRRRRR.

if youre going to get a stroker your probably going to port it. to adjust the durations and timing and just so you dont waste some of that power. so if youre gonna have it ported why not just do it when you have it all apart. however when you port it you need bore it as well, this clean up rough edges and nasty little things that can tear that motor to pieces. and since youre gonna get new pistons anyways with the bore job you can just order long rod pistons. so if you really think about, it'd be a mistake not to get a longrod crank. that all make sense? i get what you are saying, it makes sense, but the thing is, i don't need new pistons and bored out because the ones i have aren't that oldso really all i need is a stroker cuz i don't wanna buy new pistons. not to say it wouldn't be worth it but, sadly, s#*! costs money , plus i think it will have plenty of power with just that., but no one answered my ? on a diff post. will a stroker hurt bottom end a lot too, cuz it ain't great at all to start with. i guess i just want to know what kinda power to expect. Thanks... Not that a stroker crank automatically gives you tons of torque, but if set up and ported for it, it will give you tons of everything including bottom end...you CAN have your cake and it it too....Jim

You can go back to a stroker dome later if your engine was set up with the decking plate to begin with. The ex. and transfer ports will be below the piston edge, but that is irrelevent. Your tranfer duration and ex. duration will be less, but most stroker dome strokers have less anyway. For that matter,you can go back to a 350 crank if you wish with porting room to spare...Jim

Most builders wont give out specs on a highly sucessful fromats except to their customers directly. Sort of reminds me of a few years back when I was talking to this old man. Seems he and his buddys had went fishing and just slayed em'. I asked " where did you catch em'?". And he replied " right here"..holding his index finger inside his left cheek.....Jim

Yeppers, they come trued and welded, and a damn fine job of it I might add....Jim

Jack will be running either #101 or #10 on his bike. Both him and his team mate Jeremy have purple cylinders on their bikes...hard to miss. Otherwise, just look at the front of the pack....Jim

Richen the main back up to 340,drop the needles 2 notches and see if its better or worse. If you bump the compression to at least 150psi, it will have more bottom end and mid range. Make certain the carbs are dead on sync wise. Start out around 2 turns on the air screws and after engine is hot, adjust mixture to highest idle, reset for proper idle speed, and then richen up airscrews 1/8 turn. Pay close attention to the plug readings and refer to the chart I sent you. If none of this makes sense, see a professional or maybe a fellow HQ'r in your area can give you some hands on guidance....Jim

UNported, stay with the smaller carbs. On motors that have been modified, start looking around. Its been my experience that the stockers only work well with motors only having a very mild port job. Stockers in my opinion are junk. Nearly every engine I build requires larger carbs to gain the full potential of performance. But then again, "trail porting" represents about 1% of my business...Jim

If your strictly a trail rider, big bore might be what your after(slightly better everything with a emphasis on low to mid). Unported though, the gains are not even close to even a ported 350, not to mention a ported stroker. But at $200.00, sounds like a bargain either way.....Jim

Lime Green and "perfect porting"?>>>>>>writing in little black book<<<<<<<LMAO....straight face...LMAO... Lime green boxers in my future for sure to drag my ass out of bed in the morning

Ill have a set in a few weeks that are only 2 months old and in perfect condition. Im trading out a engine package for a guy that decided to go BIG...make me an offer and Ill consider it....Jim

Porting, head, carbs, life insurance....Jim

Jack, did you guys get any lap times? Talked to Jerry at Viper today, he was at the race. He meant to bring my radar gun but forgot to. He said your lead would have been better , but your bike was rich on the bottom and 2nd place bike was sticking on the turn perfectly, and he thought your ft. end might have been a tad loose??? All in all though, he was very impressed how your bike pulled that 435 on the straights...good job!!!!...Jim

Just want to congratulate Proquad101 on his ass kicking win in NFTRA OPEN CLASS PRO in Joplin Saturday night! your DA MAN! ....Jim

The blueish smoke on the right hand side is a dead giveaway...right hand crank seal for sure. DId you align the RH main bearing locator pin torwards the ft of the engine and at the seam line? If not it can suck air and oil. Check it out and dont lose patience, when you get that engine dialed in, it will definately hit the powerband and then some. Although it sounds like you need to upgrade that head very soon and gain the benifits of added compression, especially with that porting...definately...Jim

PD is a much better intake than stock stuff...Jim

Dan is probably just busy as hell like I am.He builds a damn fine engine ,and his reputation speaks for itself. Its really hard to respond to all the emails and posts, phone calls etc., and you have to make the calls yourself because your shop help or secretary etc. cant answer the questions. I spend almost as much time doing that end of the biz as building engines personally...Jim
