Everett did a very good job. He got 210 HP. Ray Richardson and folks at
the current Power Sport got another 5% by merely adding bell mouth intakes
to what Everett did for a grand total of 215 to 220 HP. I say if you copy
Mazda exactly with larger runners and ports you can get up to 240 HP
at 6000 and much much more with a 2.85:1 gear box and 7500 RPM.

Yes, I agree the optimum diameter, for 6000 might be different and even more
than 240 HP might be possible. So far nobody, nada, no one else, except
Mazda,
has come even close to 240 HP at 6000 RPM.

   Paul,

   Do you or any others on the list know what the PP timing (also diameter) is
for Jim Mederer's (Racing Beat) rotor housings as compared to the Mazda Lemans
engines?
