It was a rhetorical question.

It was I who approached Randy about a stroker crank setup... I've built some in the past, and I am currently building one for a 395, no big secret there as I have posted about it here.
In my interpretation of the rules a stroker crank would be legal, as would a stock 385/390 cylinder which had been bored and replated so long as it were still a one piece jug.
Maybe my interpretation of the rules is somewhat different than everyone else's.
FWIW... I may be bringing a saw to the buildoff, but it will be a stock stroke and stock bore. Seeing that I have never built a saw for the purpose of cant racing I seriously doubt I will make much of a showing but in any case anyone who wants to tear the saw down will be welcome to take the top end off and have a look see...

The last time someone went around dropping hints in a suggestive context, this thread went to sh*t. Figured I would clear things up before we fell into a downward spiral again

I would like to see you and randy do the build.
since the cats out of the bag, i'm planning on 41 mm stroke, 55 mm bore, 97.4 cc, just shy of 6 cube, for a 6 cube race saw, on pipe. the wild thing
so why build a stroker? look at a 046 and a 064 and you should find your answer.
lets keep it fun guys, life is too short to be pissed off.

Just to be clear Randy was doing all the saw building, I had just approached him earlier about testing a stroker crank for me.

Well, that certainly is one way to never have defend your claims. Par for the course, I guess.

It was defeated on May 25th of this year.
It's definitely a fast saw. But it isn't undefeated now.
I will say, that every saw that Brad brought was a damn fine runner. He does a heck of a job.

I'm not speaking for him, but I doubt it.
I actually tore into the 390 here. Just got to weld the muffler deflector back on. I figure the whole top of the muffler is a big enough opening[emoji12]

It ended up with the fastest cut time of the day in its class, even if it did take several tries to beat that 066It was defeated on May 25th of this year.

Musta been one stout 066. Regardless it's fun.
One thing I don't understand. Why do I like standing in a pile of chips?

I've seen people pooh pooh the performance of ported 660s compared to equivalent size Huskys before, but when the Smittybuilt 660s show up at the NY GTGs, I can tell you they are very impressive. They definitely leave a lasting impression regarding saw porting.

Your saw ran real good. Only Saws faster I saw there was Ron's 066 and Shawn's 390.
Iirc Ron had fastest 10x10 time with his 066 and 20x20, but I think Shawn's 390 was suuuper close. I had one time under 8 seconds in 20x20.
No shame in your 390 losing to either one, it was impressive.
