[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 94936, member: 3426"] All the technical discussion is above my pay grade as well, but for what it's worth, I agree with David. If one wants to determine the perfect scenario for a given bike/fuel, then a dyno/analyser is the best route. As for seat of the pants analysis... an example, so the story goes was Nicky Hayden's first outing on an RC51. He had kind things to say, but wasn't all that enamoured with the power... until he was shown his lap times. Even his posterior didn't make a good dyno. Taking a modern electronic ignition and using a dyno is something that I would love to do, but as mentioned elsewhere, I don't think I could stand dealing with 20 or so full pulls on the old girl. Another thing to consider is that it seems most electronic ignitions on the market are multi spark, so if I were to establish the best advance curve for my Comet engine with the PowerArc (programable) ignition, I don't know how much help that would be to someone using a mag. I guess total advance would be of interest, but then with differences in fuel and engines..... [/QUOTE]
