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.
