Has this been corroborated on a dyno, as in you KNOW you make less power or is the car just running a little slower ET.............Where on the track did it slow? Is it early, in the middle or on the top end. If the car runs the same speed it ran before, it makes the same power. You just may not be getting it down as consistently or as easily as you were before.

My point is that it seems hard for me to believe that MORE revs and better stability has cost you power

Monte,

The car slowed across the board, from 60' out the car was slower. The trap RPM and MPH were down as well.

The reason for this loss of performance in my opinion is this...

Valvetrain Geometry affects net lift at the valve as well as effective duration.

This is what is missing from many discussions regarding valvetrain geometry.
