Did you go for the newer version of the exhaust, its suppose to make a chunk more power and fit closer to the car.

It's the older version. The resonator sits a couple inches lower than the floor boards. Shouldn't be a problem unless the car is slammed. I just have some Vogtland springs and Illuminas.

Did your importer offer the newer one?  I'm trying to work out the design changes that result in the power bump v's the older one.

 

Looks good.

Ooo I love the Fujitsubo and the mikuni 44’s so much!

Slow and steady. I chose to get the valve cover powdercoated gloss black.

I still need to sort out linkage, fuel rail, and initial jetting.

Yesterday I took a 14 hour round trip drive through the San Juan national forest to pick up this 73. Fairly solid but has some frame rail rust.

Looks like a great drive!

I just finished my taxes, so it's time for an update!

I'm absolutely LOVING the Mikuni 44s!

I need to schedule some dyno tuning this summer with Jeff Winter.

Here's a video clip from the SU dyno runs I mentioned before. Sadly, they wouldn't let me touch the engine bay between runs. IIRC the numbers were right around 140whp/tq at 6000 feet.
