Good morning all,
I was reading a complaint recently about engine build threads in general, where once the engine build is done, the originally builder never reports back to share how the engine actually performs.
So, this morning, I took a quick video of dash as I pulled onto the interstate. Had to make a right turn, so I couldn't do the pull from a stop, but it was still plenty fun.
I also stopped at 75, as I was already doing 10 over.

Yeah, the larger valves help tremendously. It'll keep going up to 5500 - 6000 RPMs and keep breathing, but I just get too timid for that!
