[QUOTE="Loxy, post: 147673, member: 147"] What sort of heads, rocker ratio, compression ratio etc is it running ? have you done a compression test on it? Was it all balanced? what revs do you change up at? What type & condition is the clutch? not slipping is it? Carb jetting/choke sizes - has it been rolling roaded? I assume its well serviced - timing, valve clearances, plug gaps, correct dwell etc - (is the pertronix correctly fitted with correct gap)? I dont suppose the gearbox helps - wont the longer gear(s) make it slower (is it only 4th or are the others different as well from a 1600 box?) Having said all the above - you are trying to accelerate a brick shaped object so it maybe thats all it can do? Alex4057 on here has a 1776 I believe & hes in USB so I guess its possible but maybe his is more highly tuned - bigger carbs, valves, cam etc? Or maybe its just upset because I called it a cross-dresser in the London Volksfest thread :lol: [/QUOTE]
