421 cub with power valve


Recommended Posts

dude on another site said he has a genius idea how to put a simple PV on the 421 cub because aparently theres a flat spot at 5k rpm or so he says.  dont cubs spend most of their time well above 5k rpm ? mostly for drag racing is what i thought the cubs purpose was.  wouldnt a lower exh roof screw up the blowdown ?  ive never seen a cub first hand so im just guessing with the transfers where they are it wouldnt run well with the exh lowered. just trying to make sense of what that knucklehead is saying. said every 2stroke works its best at 188/130 then you tune for the desired power with changes in the pipe :whistling:

Secondly I am just finalizing designs for a bolt on 'powervalve' which can be adapted to most non PV two stroke engines.
the first test will be on a 421 Cub (big bore/stroker banshee with CPI race cylinder) as it has an enormous flat spot at 5000rpm.
Removing that flat spot without hurting the top end will make the bike not only easier to ride but it will also be a very popular commercial product.
You haven't read about it because I don't want anyone stealing my idea as its so simple.

Bolt on power valves?.....Boy, you match that up with a boost bottle and your really going to be on to something........

 

You know why cubs have a big flat spot at 5000RPM?......cause the dipshit that said that doesn't have any idea what he's talking about.
