The LTH crew dyno tested them and simply found that the single-V type flowed better and produced more power.
Get to SULK
would be good to see the Dyno print outs of the back to back tests on the LTH reeds.
My guess is with the V force type reed that was in the LTH and small apature that it might have been a restriction at certain revs (intake speeds) as the air/fuel mix has to pass the extra restrictions of the two reed cages and push in effect twice as much reed material out of the way to achieve this. So maybe it has advantage at part of the rev range, butthe negatives outway the positives in HP gains through the rev range.
