[QUOTE="Tnecniv Edipar, post: 15405, member: 418"] I used Ducati as a reference because they do share a similar architecture with Vincent engines. Roller bearing bottom end V twin. Would have to disagree on torque , the Ducati will produce more peak torque due to a better BMEP , but the torque band on the Vincent may be wider. My experience in engine tuning has taught me that any engine can be impoved in performance , some more easily and more than others. One facility is essential to extract the best from any engine is a dyno , anything else is whistling in the wind ! It's by far the best way to determine exactly the correct ignition timing and fuel , and also to asses the improvement of any modifications. Anyway , over and out on this , don't wish to bore anyone any further. [/QUOTE]
