Is that the one that Kenny was playing with?
My buddy is on the salt, waiting on an update from him.
The 1220cc bike seems to have a rev limiter at 9,500 when trying to go faster than 147.

Hopefully the gearing change will raise the speed.Dennis, I misspoke; the dyno is saying that the HP at 9500 is enough to push the bike through the air at 147, but the peak HP may be at a much lower RPM, especially with 1220 CC. The head, even modified, can only flow so much air, so the peak will be lower than a smaller engine with the same head. Your motor, for instance, had a peak at 9500 or so, IIRC. What was the RPM at 150?
That car is one fine looking rig.........I have a pic or three

What was the RPM at 150?This is a straight spigot, big valve head. I asked the original owner about flow numbers but he never got around to running it on a bench. I'd still imagine it can move a lot of air. He had a special cam ground just for this stroker.
