To answer your question, you need to make a table for your CA of the standard and crossed ratios like the one Tim Alman included in his post. Then look at the ratio gaps when shifting. As you have heard from others, for me it was a BIG improvement for my CB77. I liked the fact both second and third ...

Thought I heard some excess clatter. One intake valve was a bit loose. Now they are all 0.004”. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I...
