the details in this Z1 are too many to just start spewing...what are y'all interested in?
Answer to porting question...giant ports and giant valves (for an old style Z1 head), 40mm inlet and 32mm exhaust. The inlet ports are so big that a few places needed JB Weld to cover the gaps to the atmosphere.
As far as assaulting Daytona, I won there in 2010

nice, that's a good start.....
how much compression are you running? (and whith which gas), how much ignition advance? cams? your approach to building squish (fit close to the dome or bathtub approach) we are all ears
