1.2 rockers with a milled head and stock cam
Very true, no one else has it. But no one else runs over .400" lift at the valve either. So I really needed to make the tool. What NR-Racing has done is run a slightly longer valve, but that only will get you so far. But even that is good for the .360" lift area, but if the valves are stock leangth he puts a warning out there before you purchase.
I think it'll vary from setup to setup. Just switched from stock to the 1.2 using the 18# springs and lightly milled head. Before firing it up checked for coil bind and it looked snug maybe .0065 in that area between the springs. Mid range feels pretty good but definitely does not feel like it has the same top end as with the stock rockers. It's just not hitting the higher RPMs.

There is always problems with guys newly getting into modifying a motor. To me it seems so simple to mod a motor. But to a new person just getting into it tries to do the same, but always seem to do something a little off that causes problems.
My buddy just sold a gas tillotson carb to a guy. He was just racing with this carb 1.5 months ago with no problems, the carb is blueprinted from E.C. distributing. The new guy that has the carb is complaining that he can get it tuned. He doesn't want to listen to reason, and doesn't have experience with one of these carbs. So it may not even be out of tune as far as I know. But sometimes you just have give up on some people. I told my buddy to offer the guy his money back. Get the carb back bolt it on, tune it, race it , all on video to prove the guy wrong.

To mock up one setup and have it dialed on one ride then transfer that same setting over and have the exact output on another seems far reaching. Not that it couldn't be done but evidently hondas and clones may not have exacting tolerances. Not that it's right or wrong, on or off, but whether or not it works out.
