Do you feel that it is still adequate? Bill Schertz KIS Cruiser # 4045 Yes, still using the two barrels cut from the stock throttle body. This is just barely adequate at 6000 rpm. Might pick up a little power ar top end if I had more but this is generally adequate. Since I'm using a fixed pitch prop it does give me full power engine is capable of making at static/climb rpm of 5200 - 5300. At altitude (thinner air) the relatively small TB is not holding the engine back at all. Only place it restricts is full throttle at SL, i.e., racing. That's just not a big priority for me. PS: Marv, I was a bit confused by prior comments on trimming replies. I generally quote back only enough original message to keep context of what my reply is about and the originators' name. Do you wish posts to cut everything except the reply text? Tracy [I don't have a problem with your posts, just keep them coming. If you ir anyone else slips and quotes back the entirety of an earlier post I just clip as necessary. Life's too short to get all worked up about this stuff . ]
