Congrats to Bisi for a great '06 season. Your still able to amaze us after all these years. Can't wait to see what you have in store for '07. Keep up the good work and we'll see you at the track. I still need to hit you up on that H2B kit. I'll call you soon.

Looks unbelieveably good Bisi--what is interesting is that virtually 100% of the air-cooled VW pro-stock guys use Berg or JayCee Terminator 55-62mm carbs. I think they are in the 9.60-9.70 range. I notice the header in the picture looks more "conventional" than your older Bisimoto headers--any particular reason power wise?

I see coming from the valve cover the an cap on the right has a little line coming off of it, is that measuring crank case vacuum, going to a vacuum gauge--because of the depression from the dry-sump?

I wouldnt consider him an underdog by any means.. Most people dont want to square up with him in elimination rounds. He knows how to put the car together from bumper to bumper

Does anyone know what sensor they are using in the front right side of the valve cover?

When I saw the car at BOTI in MD the vacuum line on the valve cover ran to vacuum gauge inside the car.

Yeah--it is for measuring crank case vacuum--I also measure mine with a header evac system, but it hardly pulls anything with a muffler--maybe a max of 3/4" at high rpm.

Excellent observation. That is our test header. Upon close inspection, you can see that that unit has been cut up and re-welded many a time. It is easier to modify this simplistic unit than one of our final production designs. Since the gradual curves of our unique designs yield more power, that is a variable that we can put aside as a constant as we play around with other parameters. I hope that answers your question satisfactorily.

Give me a call at your leisure...we sold out our 1st batch of H/F2B kits, and currently making some more: the should be done early next week!

Thanks for all the kind words and support, everyone. A special thanks goes out to TunerZine, as well. '07 will be a crazy year in all motor.

So Bisi--you are basically saying that your "spaghetti" design makes more power bar none in your testing--but it would be a PITA to constantly alter collector size, taper and primary length with one of the "spaghetti" ones so you use a more conventional header to do that with and when you are satisfied with everything--put every design element into the older spaghetti style.
