You did more or less BD? Nice runner bud .

Tank ya Mason! Less BD, Lower EX, Shorter intake. Experimenting with modding a Chinese Zama C3M copy. Drilled out the main and that was it. You could probably hear that rich bog in the beginning of the video, low end was still a touch bit rich.

My 394 after some port. No machine work for the sake of science to compare to my 660.

Nice!

Both mine are unported and not machined ,but I did use a pop up in my 066 with a bgd. I feel like the same treatment for the 394 would make it out perform the 066 for long bar fun.

For sure it would.

I’ve had saws beat or at least match other saws with less compression. It’s only one piece of the puzzle imo.

I intend to test the overall power output unlike how the the near stock 394 allegedly beat a certain 288. It was hardly a fair review of that 288. I just want to see how much power a 394 actually can have without machine work.

That depends entirely on how good the porter is imho. Nothing to do with the saw.

Think you’re missing my point perhaps. No big deal. Makes sense to me.

Also Buckin’s 394 was far from stock. He said it was walkerized a long time ago. So he’s a liar.

Exactly my point

 

[jacob j.]

Walker's ported 394s for years without any machine work and they sold thousands of them. But, like anything, as we all learn, we get better all around.

The end user now, whether commercial or casual, is better educated and better equipped than they were back in those days.

 

[Slumberjack]

In this case my skill level is not pro by any means but I did my absolute best to get the most power from the 660 and the 394 excluding machine work on the 394. I will compare them in an honest manner to my best abilities. Then I will machine my other cylinder along with porting on the 394 and do another comparison to see the difference

 

[huskyboy]

If a 660 or 288 beats a 394 there’s something wrong with it. Not even a question that needs to be addressed imo. Lol

Are you talking stock ones here?

 

[MustangMike]

IMO, if a cylinder needs machine work or not often depends on the starting #s.

Some cylinders, from the same model saw, will benefit from it a lot more than others.
