I just read every damn page, but it was worth it because that's a good ending to the story.

Glad to hear you got your numbers where you want them.

A broken valvespring didn't reveal itself on the dyno?

Well i broke the valve spring afterwards. I spoke to ET about it and they said the valve springs i had they were having a few problems with and had since started using patriot golds so they sent me a new set free of charge. That proved to be my problem - defective valve springs.

Put a FAST 90/90 on it and run it on a Dynojet. I bet a lot of people would like to see that.

have you tried running it at the track? maybe their dyno dynos cars lower than other dynos. a mag didn't a comparison....and there was as much as 70 rwhp between different dynos.
