David and I were chatting on the phone bout this idea... and now I've got a
much better idea about what he was talking about...

He's actually done this test... the results of which will be published at a
later date... his real request was why do you think one is better then the
other... . he is looking for your personal perspectives... he is researching
it to find truth.. and only the dyno and corrected conditions can give him
that... empirical data...

The reason he's limiting it to a particular Cam and head combination is so
neither can be optimized for a purpose and to try and limit the test to Bore
and stroke only.... it's obvious that a combination can be optimized one way
or the other... and either combination can be set up as both a high rev motor
or a torque motor....

My understanding of his goal is to decide if there is any merit what so ever
in a particular bore and stoke over another combination.... without
artificially pimping one set up over the other...propping it up so to speak
with optimized cam's for a given combination...

This is a PURE bore and stoke test.

Now what say you?

Keith
