I’m new to inline engines, and I’ve been following this thread with interest. I have a similar project in process for me and my wife. It appears that one of the big keys to success is dividing the intake tract from the plenum to the valve; did you end up leaving the lump port inserts in, or did you take them out?

The chassis dyno video looked great. It’s smooth as silk! What camshaft numbers did you end up with for the solid flat tappet? How much boost did it take to make those power numbers?

Good job, and I salute your perseverance!
