That pesky Sporlan valve.... - Doug Engel - 11-22-2006 02:51
Kerry,
I kinda thought as much. Even though the turbo would help compensate for the
altitude, it still only gets you a few more ponies. The fact ramains that they
are not the fastest rigs over the hills...just the coolest. Doug

I've been over Raton with mine but not any higher passes yet. Not a
speedster. I was down to
20mph on some hills in the Appalachians this summer. Mine has an aftermarket
turbo on an
NA. Are you thinking of repowering with a 3208T? It would be interesting to put
two Birds,
one turbo and one NA at the bottom of the pass and see how far ahead the turbo
is at the
top.

weekend. We
came home over Raton, LaVeta, and Cochetopa passes. Slow...really slow...20MPH.
Good oil
pressure, no overheating, but quite a grunt, especially the last one (11K'+). If
we keep her, a
repower may be in the future. Thanks for the suggestion and the welcome home
wishes,
