what do people think?

"yeah, they are out of spec, but they ARE hot." said LARRY MANOR chief tech inspector wizard, compliments of CCS. {while he was holding them!!} hey kevin, did you ever find out why the part number 34-E was stamped on those cams, while everything else is stamped 33-E? or why 33-E cam sprockets were stamped on 34-E cams? has larry figured out how to measure bore/stroke numbers yet? my mechanic had to show him last time. oh yeah, my favorite larry manor line. "is this measured in millimeters, or thousanths of an inch?!"  ::) BTW when MY 2000 model gsxr 600 motor was rebuilt, it had 33-E cams. hmmmmmmmm

Doc, Since you obviously have something against CCS(viewed all tears/threads today), Maybe you should try Grand national dirt track and see what a good organization you really ride with. do you ride? BTW.

[THE_D.O.C.]

yes i do schleprock, that is not the point. i would still be entitled to an opinion. if i see something i view is out of line i will say it. boy i'm glad no one told martin luther king to just suck it up and deal with it. what would the USA be like today?

[marc gifford cmra 30]

schleprock huh, What region do you cry in anyway? Come to texas and will give you something to cry about. :P

[marc Gifford]

BTW DOC, i have to go home now but I'll chase your trail of tears tomorrow.

D.O.C., Brad or what ever, at least you are consistent.

Waaaaaa, Waaaaaa, Waaaaa.

Wack, Wack, Wack, Wack.

I think everyone should run aftermarket filters.... especially in Yamaha R6's ;D

Hopefully this makes things a little easier to understand.  I happened to be the "wrench" for a buddy this past weekend when he took second in Unlimited Supersport.  I had no experience with the top three places going to tech to have the bike inspected so I asked a lot of questions.  The tech official was very willing to explain everything that he was checking and why.  Here is what he checked (in the airbox portion of the inspection):
1.  That the stock airbox was used. Also that no additional posts or anything were added to aid air in "swirling" within the airbox.
2.  That the airbox had no additional holes in it.
3.  That the "ram air" intake at the airbox had not been modified in any way.  He stated that you can do whatever you want before the entrance to the airbox but the size, shape, and location of the opening could not be changed from stock. (same cross sectional area at the inlet as to not allow higher pressurization or larger inlet flow within the box)
4.  Filter media could be other than stock as long as the actual inlet area was the same as stock (No change in cross sectional area from stock.  Same reason as above)
5.  Whatever filter media was installed had to be "intact".  No slits or holes could be made in the media to allow larger flow volumes.
6.  Intake area could not be modified in any way.  No polishing, porting, adding, or removing material from the intake "stacks".  This is to prohibit the increase in velocity of intake air charge over a stock intake.
He stated that all of these items were to keep the field somewhat "even".  The filter that my friend had in his bike was indeed aftermarket but the inspector had the dimensions of the original filter written down and measured the dimensions of the media area of the aftermarket one to make sure that it was the same.
Sorry if this reply is long winded but I thought this may help to resolve the confusion somewhat.
