That wouldmake you pretty old. We raced at Tony's first 600cc upright race up their. Ohio has always been the hot bed of rip roaring snorten hard farten bad a$$ race motors. Best I can figure it must be something in yous guys water or something I don't know. But I do know that we outrun them guys with a stock F-2 Honda on gasoline. With them mechanical injectors they could pull us on the start but we just perfected the first gear start and they didn't give us any problem. About all one can hope for when hot roding one of these motors is an ill running wicked sounding time bomb. Like the old AA Quarter Midget used to be.
If you guys stuck to stock motors with stock parts and allowed stock bore intake systems of any kind, naturally aspirated of course, not worry about the ECM. You would be much happier.
I have devised a port that can be installed in the valve cover over the intake cam lobe that you can check valve lift with in 5 mins or less.
You can drill and tap the crankcase just over the #1 cylinder and install an 1/2" X 10AN straight fitting with a cap that can be removed to bore scope the rods and crankshaft.
Checking bore and stroke with gauge bore scope piston crown shape and you are ready to go.
Checking Methanol for additives is easy, not so for gasoline. The best way to get a little more power is with gasoline and oxygenated additives that you can not check for at the track. A little U2 or 4 at $20.00 a gallon will get you a noticeable kick in the butt.
This is why I think that cars running gasoline should be made to weigh heavier than methanol powered cars.
