Now because I'm mad about this, I'm going to do the only logical thing TO do..... FIRST, I need to find a website that has current and CORRECT performance information and read my ass off. Second, as soon as temp gets over 35*F this afternoon I'm going out and running the bike for all its worth so I can really try and feel the difference from before and after. Uuurrrrggghhh!!!! I'm so mad I could go enroll for MMI right now. But I won't, because I'm too old for that shit.

Scottie,
How 'bout you go to the "Campfire Talk" section of this site, where I posted a thread "Engine Design and Modifications Q/A", and post a question there on that thread about wanting to know some of the current info on engine mods, and I will give you the information you are seeking.
http://www.enfieldmotorcycles.com/forum/index.php/topic,17452.0.htmlI spend my life researching this stuff, and then actually doing it, and getting feedback from the results, and refining the methods. I have been studying everything, everywhere, about these things for years, and I am up to the minute on the techniques. And I do this on actual engines regularly, and work with some of the most talented performance specialists around, and they answer my questions when I have them.
The reason I recommend doing it this way is because this gets real complicated, real fast. You touch one thing, and it affects something else, or multiple other things. And there are varieties of approaches to doing mods, depending on the kind of basic platform involved. There are all kinds of variables in different kinds of engines that need to be assessed in a total environment, and then a logical approach defined and executed.
This thread isn't the place for it, because it would hi-jack the whole thread, and so I recommend that we take it up in the Campfire Talk thread where we can obsess about this stuff in unlimited doses.
That's why I posted that thread there.
