Re: Odyssey battery terminals
I just replaced a battery myself, I decided to try a lithium battery. Weight savings is HUGE (aprox 7 pounds = 1 HP ) and CCA is a lot higher too. Here is a link to one, I'm sure there are others out there. https://www.billetproofdesign.com/antigravity-batteries-rs-30-lightweight-performance-lithium...

Re: 502 carb question
What are the 502 guys running for carbs?? Got a 750 demon and don't like the carb.. mileage is crap and runs rich as hell You could try and tune your Demon but it will always be a POS in my opinion . I don't like the Demon carb and their QC is about even with ZILCH. When we built my 383 (over 500hp...

NASA1, I'm surprised you didn't hook-up w/ Barry Radu from Destination Cycles out in Canada. That couldn't be really that far from Seattle. Just my 2 cents. 25 miles OR 700 miles ...

Re: Carburetor Vs EFI
I agree that a carb can run as clean as efi to a certain extent. Carbs rely on physics, yes and no. The carb will run as clean as efi when properly tuned for a CERTAIN elevation. That's it. It may work ok at different elevations but not as good as when it was tuned at X elevation. You see the jets ...

Re: Carburetor Vs EFI
Carbs aren't horrible at all. They can run as clean as EFI, but need to be tuned to do it - by a competent tuner. EFI has code written by those tuners so that it can adjust based off of conditions. So, if you can really tune a carb, you'll be fine, you'll be better than fine. If you can't tune a ca...

All of them I remember seeing were down 1/4" or better (trikes and bikes). I remembered seeing one @ the V8 Parade last week that was up above the top of the tubes (it was a trike but don't remember anything more then that).
