And that was the testing that was originally proposed. To once and for all
find the truth of rod ratio controversy by changing only the rod ratio and
leaving everything else alone. I have no doubt that if you change the ratio,
then change the heads and then change the induction then change the cam then
change...well you get the idea...you cannot determine truth by changing all
the variables at once. You just make a mess and it can't be explained.
Wspecially on something that is basically a one shot deal.
