Dave:
so O.K., I surrender!  We all know that you know what you're doing!  I just
couldn't let you get by with badmnouthing my baby gixxer, without at least
trying to hang you with "guilt by association"!

And you are right, I wasn't referring to any of "your" cars-- since I
haven't known much of the details of them, til now.  Thanks for the info.

Thanks, too, for the tip about Megacycles.  I'll give them a try, when I do
my buildup.  Still have no way of knowing whether this engine might be
flow-limited, though-- in which case-- even with the big compression to take
care of 1st-gear accelleration, a radical cam might be wasted effort.

It doesen't look like the head would hold bigger valves, and the rules don't
allow me to increase the throttle bore diameter, so there are only little
things I can do to help intake flow.  I should be able to help the exhaust
flow a little more, I think (if Pork-pie ever comes thru with the info about
megaphone design!).
