Hold up guys, I think you're missing the whole point of the post. It wasn't a direct reflection on Wilbur, I simply used his bike and mine as examples of different styles of bikes. What I was trying to portrait is if a stock street bike, with basic changes can make it easier to launch, thereby allowing the rider to concentrate more on cutting a good light, trying to be consistent in the 60' because your mind isn't clouded by thought of the bike wheeling cause the rpms are to high or bogging cause they're too low. Racing is a mental sport, take away as many distractions as possible and it increases your chances if winning. A by-product of what I explained in the earlier post is lower ET and higher mph. Using Wilbur specifically, I can tell you from our conversations that he's hooked and his goal is to make rounds. He's not just there to gave fun with the guys at this juncture. The fact that he installed the 836 kit in this engine and is building another motor verifies his seriousness in doing well.
