[Roadsters] Porting, Polishing, Squish, Quench, and Turbulence.

[Daryl Smith]

There is a link in there to an article which shows some interesting mods to 
a carb which might be applicable to the Hitachi SUs if someone were wanting 
to give something like that a try.........

http://www.gofastnews.com/board/technical-articles/169-cylinder-turbulance-combustion-dynamics.html

This is actually a very good technical site for anyone who might be building 
an engine and wants to ask questions/get some feedback on 
modifications......
