I think that I have a Video Tape camera around somewhere. Maybe the tape can be converted to digital somewhere. I'll look into that.

How about the longer rod staying a bit longer at tdc thus increasing torque and the longer rod allowing higher rpm thus increasing hp?

It's not totally dialed in yet, and I have a couple of bugs, but it runs great. It's wickedy awesome scary to break traction at 50 mph.

My compression ratio is 10.8:1, and the motor is Fuel Injected.
I have never gotten close to that mileage with a carb.

I was following someone on this trip. I don't usually drive that conservatively. I may not be able to repeat that mileage, but I have another trip coming up this weekend, so I'll check it.
It is a lot of fun, but it's hard to open it up in traffic. I'm planning on a trip to Delmar Dragstrip in Delmar DE on May 20th. I also plan to take some video. My video camera is tape. I will need to get it digitized, unless I find someone with a Digital Video camera.
