[Shotimes] 11.87 second SHO... (Don Mallinson)

[Ron Porter]

"Pre-G-Tech"? Don't think so. Anyway, there's another unit out there
(probably still is) called the Vericom (Vericrom?), in fact I "think" Don
may have had one. They've been around since before 1994.

IIRC, the article was from 94', pre G-Tech days.  I meant a higher lift.  I
suppose if they didn't increase overlap it wouldn't have much of an effect
on torque, but one would think that on a high rever like the Yamaha, you
would increase overlap too.

It just said that that was his time... 11.87 would be very noticable.  If
anyone could pull that off, I would think Mark N would be the one.
