Based on the feedback most of everyone focused in on the 260 to 289 overbore. Others assumed that I would attempt this. Rest assured all that I am not going to attempt this as I will remove the orig

Does anyone have a copy of this book that they would be willing to loan for a few weeks? I first read the book in about 1979, shortly after I got my Tiger. Back then, the Calgary Public Library had a

So there's a topic worthy of discussion: Assuming we're using a mildly zoomy cam (let's say the Ford Motorsport E303 or equivalent), what's the maximum compression ratio we can run if we're going to

I'll add my two cents, which of course runs somewhat contrary. I am running nominal 12:1 TRW pistons with 59 cc 351W heads. Factoring deck height, head gasket, and 0.030" overbore, it comes out to 1

I have to agree with you about the effect removing and sharp spots from the combustion area will have on detonation. The key to avoiding the excessive pressures is by changing where the Intake valve

Try Toluene for mixing your own. Just don't get it on your hands it will make you sick. Methanol has less hp than gas you will have to rejet to get the gain. Doug

I forgot, we used that too. We used about 85% methanol, 2 or 3% toluene, a little acetone, and the rest premium gas. Methanol has about half the energy content compared to gasoline so you need to nea

To determine compression it depends on whether you talk about static compression or Dynamic compression. Static Compression i.e.: the compression based on the swept volume of the cylinder bore that

Well stated ! That was a collage course in two paragraphs. Rule of thumb was for every 1lb before ignition you get 10lbs after. That is why ignition timing is more critical when you start adding comp
