<p>I definitely agree with this. All my trailers have gotten winches</p>
<p>soon after purchase once I realized how useful they are.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I can tell you that I already have a GT6 with a good
flexible power band and good reliability. It lacks quickness however, due in
part to the TR6 engine which is not highly tuned and I'm sure the gearing
could be better (3.27 rearend-Toyota T50 trans.)( Good for the highway.) My old
car is pretty much to the point where I don't want to do anything more to
it so I want to move on to another project. This time I want to build a car
that snorts . I do however need to put it on and off the trailer and I'm not
thrilled about breaking parts with max. RPMs so I can't afford to go all out.
I'm looking for quickness through the gears and good handling. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">Larry’s comments make me
wonder the precise intended purpose of the engine mentioned by the original
poster. “Track days” might mean different things to different people.
Does P. J. want a good flexible power band, or does he need an ultimate dyno
horsepower figure? Does the motor have the gear set to be able to take
advantage of an engine with very little low-end torque? How high among his
priorities is the ability to be able to drive the car back on the trailer at the
end of every track weekend? Lack of sponsorship and cash prizes mean that I
must find the setup that maximizes the fun/cost
ratio.<br><br>Duncan<br><br><br>> On Oct 31, 2015, at 1:34 PM, Larry Young

wrote:<br>><br>> That is an interesting article, but only speaks to one
side of the issue. I always say that you want to pick an intake duration for
an RPM range that you're willing and able to turn. We all know what happens to a
stock TR4 crank which sees >6,000 on a regular basis. Some guys want a cam
good beyond 7,000, but they are just not willing to push it that far. Nowadays
I'm more of a street car guy, but still like to have power. I don't believe
the choices should be to do nothing or go all the way to race specs. >From 1968
on Triumphs were severely detuned to pass emissions. Compression ratio and
duration and hence cam overlap at TDC were reduced. For example, the early
TR250/6 had 193 degrees duration (measured at 0.050), while the TR4 was about
215 and the early PI TR5/6 was 226. It seems crazy to rebuild a street car of
this era to the original specs. Bumping the compression ratio by a point and
increasing the duration to something like 210-215 will make the engine the way
it would have been without emission restrictions. I would not feel guilty
about polluting the planet, since most of these cars see few miles annually and
most of the other pollution controls (e.g. ignition retard) probably quit
working years ago.<br>> - Larry<br>><br>> On 10/29/2015 7:25 AM, Duncan
