That's a seems like a little bit more of a R&D program than I want to 
take on right now, George (and I'm fully aware that the difficulty may 
be more perception than reality).  I'm confident that I can handle a 
porting job, as I've had to do a lot of metal 'sculpturing' to fit all 
these tubes together.  Now, it's just a question of what to cut away for me.

I believe the same thing is said about a PP that is said about what I 
think I'd like to do...rough idle and no low-end power.  Am I correct 
that the solution is short runners with a closely fitted throttle?
