    sweet..... I've been labled as a "side kick", I'll take that as a compliment B)

     

    and I am interested in where you interpret my post as

     

    "polishing does absolutely nothing but look good. "?

     

    and just where has yamaha claimed this hp # and why would an after market company trying to boost hp claim lower then the manufactor?

     

    "Yamaha claims the blaster puts out about 14-15HP at the wheels. I will believe that over some dyno of FMF's since their dynos seem to show that they are the best pipe ever made"

     

    and, what about people 30 years ago, do you really think they dumber back then? Most didn't use huge nation wide shops to do their modifications for them, they used trial and error and stuck with what worked. Like I said why would most shops who are all about volume go the extra distance when people will buy the run of the mill stuff they put on the shelves. (the extra work hollywood does goes against most business models, and the current trend of streamlining production, why provide extra service without extra compensation?......maybe the guy truely does care about the products he puts his name on...........very odd )

     

    "I don't think you can really compare something they did in the 70's to stuff they do now. There have been a lot of advances in 2 stroke building and comparing Hollywoods work to something they quit doing 30 years ago doesn't really help get your point across. The reason why people don't do it is because its a complete waste of time. I don't want to pay my builder to do things to the ports that are totally useless"

     

     

    Now gurg, just because some thing doesn't fit neatly into your little box that you consider normal, doesn't mean that is wrong or doesn't work. Instead of me and those that have hollywoods mods constantly trying to prove that they work, why don't you try some of his stuff and prove that it doesn't work :D or do you plan on trash talking his products that you have never tried with your power of they keyboard. :yank:

     

    By the way you'll happy to know that most of hollywoods products are very affordable, so in you quest to prove him and countless customers wrong, you'll save a few bucks in attempting it. :clap:

    Damn this topic has really grown some legs and done some moving. If you don't like hollywoods work then don't buy it, pretty simple concept.

     

    As far as that specific dyno goes,.....a stock 400ex puts out 20 hp.........A piped raptor put out 32hp take the #'s however you want. When compared to the fmf dyno of a stock blaster puts out 11hp, I think 23 is pretty respectable. (yes I know toomey's stock blaster puts out around 20hp.....believe what you want)

     

    The numbers are low, I had ran the dyno with 160psi, I currently have 180psi. (I made the mistake of breaking it in with full synthetic oil......took over 20hrs to get to full compression.......live and learn)

     

    I liked the effects of the rifled stock carb, so I sent him my 34mm pj.

     

    Polishing 2 stroke intakes is nothing new. I've talked to people who remeber seeing it done in the mid 70's to race sleds. The reason it isn't more common, is because it is an extra step in the porting, and why should porters do it when people will buy it without.

     

    If you have read my post this far and don't agree with me...... go back to the top of this reply and re-read the 2nd sentence.

    I'll second 99lrd's suggestion of going to hollywood. I have his work and it is flawless, his service and suport are also excellent. If you really want to make the blaster a monster get his 240 with a long rod crank set up.
