That goal fits with what I know, longer intake and exhaust usually improve torque and short intake and exhaust helps with high RPM HP. All general use engines/vehicles are a compromise based on what the engineers think ? the end user wants or sales think they can sell. I personally like the idea of increased torque and pulling power from off idle to 5-6K RPM, not to interested in making it turn 9000 RPM. You get a lot of noise and in your dreams HP, with open intake and exhausts. Max

Maybe something for Suzuki to consider for the 2009 thumper.....

For Mornhm - Right you are regarding twin carbs on the old British cars. I had a 1959 Bug Eyed Sprite with twin side draft SU carbs. Got pretty good at balancing the carbs by listening to the whistle of each carb through a rubber tube held up to my ear. Didn't do much for my hearing, but the Bug Eye ran like a rabbit!

And I still have one of the synchronization tools I used to use on Corvairs and those dual SU brit and Volvo's. I used it to verify the factory setting was correct on my Kawasaki MULE 1000 UTV that uses twin single carbs, one for each cylinder. Why is beyond me other than I believe the engine is an adapted Kaw 454 LTD unit and that is the way it came. And I even picked up an old dwell meter at a garage sale last year, just to hav one incase I needed it. Max
