    Tim, this project is quite interesting to say the least. Are you planning to leave the ports stock or are there plans for them later down the road?

    You don't want to be any closer than about 1/2" to the cavitation plate. With that said the only way to cure blowout is to lower the motor incrementally until the blowout goes away. Why do you not...

    Jeff, your are correct. That is what I'm trying to figure out. I think that is where the "black magic" comes into tuning with megaphones. Once you hit on the "right" porting, flow, carburetion of...

    Thanks for the heads up. I've read it and understand expansion chambers but it doesn't go into megaphones and how to tune them. Does the same theory apply? It's probably close but not the same as...

    This thread is pretty interesting. I would like to ask a question about megaphones. What would be the change in performance, if any, if you had a narrow cone vs. a wider cone? For example, an 8...
