With a lift under .600, looks like you left 60 to 80HP in there. It's probably a 900 motor with more aggressive parts and fuel.
Don't want an owner to hurt himself?? 
Somebody hide Rod's checkbook -quick

I probably would have went with a 4.125 stroke so my Cammer could rev faster  (dripping with sarcasm).
Where do you find valve covers for that monster?
Now, where is Patrick's checkbook? I think he said he would comp me a KC Cammer for being his Forum Foil. |

Bet those numbers were not with that air filter. If so bet it would break 800 without it.

Patrick, you will have to pluck a few extra dollars from your money tree out back. The price was published on the FE Forum:

I bet if I went with a single quad, I could shave $10K off the price.   |

Do the Kirkham footboxes require mods for the cammer to fit in there? I know the ERA cars do. |

You betcha. And so does the steering linkage, headers....
In fact, by the time I'm done with the SOHC installation, I probably could have bought another Kirkham roller. |

I've know of a garage where set of original magnesium covers, and a set of factory original aluminum cammer heads rest.
I would put that engine in my home as a piece of artwork, sweet Keith.

Whats up with the fuel/air ratio in the 6's? Or did I read that chart wrong? Man that sounds extremely rich.
Looks like the carb linkage is progessive. I've been thinking I need to change mine from one to one to progressive myself. It's just to easy to break the tires loose, maybe that would help, maybe not...

I noticed the A/F ratio.
What the story?

That could be why the VE is so low too.
