I eliminated power LOSSES due to friction, vibrations, harmonics, restrictive intake and exhaust, exhaust cooling and slowing down exhaust gasses reducing the exhausts effectiveness, small cam size, extra flywheel weight and obstructions to air flow path. I INCREASED the cam size, rocker ratio and airflow potential AND economy increased along with power.
