Looking good Shaun.
You might need a chest pad on the headset with that power!

Awesome power and lovely looking graph.
Already fastest man at over a 100mph on a Vespa PX and now hopefully on a Lambetta.

It's the same colour as your lacquered snail isn't it?

Been to the dyno again this afternoon and the franspeed will not let this setup rev much over 9k , we tried a race pipe but that just wouldnt let the engine rev so now need to look at getting one made to suit. sorry i cant give away the port timings etc but i can say its nothing ott, no bridging of the exhaust port but yes wide,ish. Transferes are standard and only cleaned up then matched to casings, i have gone for a slightly different approached in the way the inlet flows into the transferes around the casings that combined with all the other work seems to be working so far.

No Darrell just tipped over 42 then dropped at 9000 , im over the moon with whats its got now but would have liked it a little higher up the rev range, im not sure how much the clutch and gearbox will take as it is, so i think its best to just do a few meetings and test it out first. its ok having loads of power but if i cant launch it from the line under control it aint going to be quick.
By the way Darrell have you done any testing with and without the reed stuffer in the v force reed block?

im over the moon for you too great result by all concerned,hope the weather and wind is with u at the weekend and u should see some great times and speeds,whats it tip the scales at now?i guess 80kg


interesting stats from last shootout

lightweight gp 4 with 30bhp lightweight but std aero package
your superlight sprinter with was it 24bhp very lightweight improved aero package
erics rb250 42 bhp 125kg very heavy std aero package

all made similar times/speeds at the shootout so the gp 4 weight drop was worth around 12bhp
and the extra weight drop and improved aero was worth near 18 bhp

so really keen to see what yours will do in the light chassis,improved aero set up
should have been there too but at mallory this weekend ,think i might make the next date without it clashing,im building a sprint light li125 too that should be done mid season

the vforce likes a matching carb size approx 35mm so on your 39 may like a bigger stuffer opening not tried back to back ,but seen improvements from stuffing reeds so think will be a loss removing it alltogether

Your right it weighs around 82 kgs , its been going through my mind to put it in the lightweight frame for this coming sunday , especially as the rear panel/footboard legs which is where i put my feet have already started to crack on both sides and need welding. will do some testing next week without reed stuffer, as its only thrashed through the 4 gears and kepted in high revs wondered what difference this would make? look forward to seeing your comp sprinter out with the sorts of power that is being produced at the moment will some of the long standing sprint records be beat? be nice to join the 12 sec club.
