[QUOTE="Robert Watson, post: 120175, member: 38"] Martyn, it really surprised me, but I had seen CP2 run his TTR against a very fast BMW 500 twin with a good rider at Sears Point and the TTR I thought did better than the Flash. The BMW was allowed in both classes so a good back to back test. Unfortunately the TTR had a moment and DNF'd, but Carleton had it running very well indeed. Mine is running a post war 10:1 Arias piston with a 5X cam and a 1 5/32 10TT9. With the short pipe I had been using an EGR in the tail pipe and could not get a reading, after changing pipes I came to the conclusion that the turbulence at the end of the pipe might have been the problem. The problem now is of course that, even if allowed, there is nowhere around here that I can really ride it! Just in case you didn't know the old BTH was owned by Associated Electrical Industries.
