All port timing numbers are spot on what I was shooting for. Compression is exactly where we wanted it, right at 180 PSI. I suspect there's a fair amount more to be found in tweaking the pipe, but I think we've got a good start here.
Hahahahahaha!.......better go back in and raiser up Brad!
I have no itentions of "racing". GTG fun is the most I plan to do.
The saw is running great, but still needs a lot of tweaking to recognize it's potential. Gink and I talked this evening and we're planning our path forward. It's not too bad for a first stab though. Today, it's single best cut time in 8x8 was 1.17 and in 10x10 was 1.92. Three cuts in 10x10 was 6.07.
Not knowing the first thing about racing how would those times stack up against real race saws in that wood in that class?

My woods ported 084 cut a 4.04. Other than that, I have no idea what to compare it to. I have no idea what good cut times are.

Actually, Webster wood is 12 inch Tulip (Yellow Poplar). Basically the same size as a 10x10.

Frank, I know there is some tuning and experimenting left to do on the pipe- but I can definitely say first hand that the craftmanship on that pipe is absolutely top notch. Very beautiful piece of work is an understatement.
