Sorry I am very average at sorting my thread. Valiant made a discussion page up first but I didn't put the link into my project thread till just recently. Yoeddy thanks for sorting the second discussion page and sorry for the confusion. Sorry I cant get any pics of the balancing but I imagine if you search Sunnen engine balancing or Hinds engine balancing you may be able to find something.

Yes id say some sidedraphts would definitely help out. The cam is pretty small aswel not much bigger than a GT spec, so I wasn't expecting to much power. But was hoping to hit 120hp it tips over really early so it will never make a good dyno number. 113hp 5500 rpm will have to do for now. I need to get the distributor regraphed cause the high comp and small cam make it det at lower rpm. I don't know much about the factory sport 4-2-1 headers, but I imagine they may be on the small side primary size wise. If anyone has any experience with them it would be interesting to here.

I modified my dizzy to sort a similar issue but to do it again I would either buy a pre modified one from Burton or a tuneable 1 from 123ignition.com. The Bluetooth mapable ones look awesome. Mine makes 115hp at the wheels with similar spec to yours but Kent 234 cam and bike carb setup.

Yes im trying to keep it cheap distributor and carb wise. Im possibly thinking of EFI in the future some time after getting it reregistered. But the Bluetooth mapable units sound good. Also a bigger cam would bleed off some compression at lower rpm. But will just try the regraphed dizzy for know. Which im sure ill probably regret and wish I spent more on a decent unit.
