OK... question here... and something for people to
contemplate
People speak frequently of low pressure in Triumph
4 and 6 cyl engines. This too has been bugging me...
trying to understand why the pressure would drop so
much just from the engine warming up. Some people
say it's the oil and a
Well it turns out I got new brake lines from a local Earl's shop near me.
They worked out very nicely. On the expensive side, but I got them right away.

I suspect the combination of that hot cam and the 4-1 headers has both
moved the HP peak up fairly high and reduced your low rpm torque quite a
bit. I had a similar setup on my car, but with a 1296 motor. It screamed at
5K+, but was gutless below 3K. A milder cam and stock header have made it

The rpm setting simply has the meter count the frequency of spark
pulses, and give a matching display based on the number of cylinders
it's told exist. So if the unit senses 2000 pulses per second, it will
display 1000 rpm for a four cylinder four cycle engine. (2000 pulses / 4
