MAYBE KENTLEY BORROWED MY SOUND, AND DUBBED IT IN HIS VID,..
Man, that Cooper pipe just doesn't do that engine justice when it comes to the sound. HP is there all day long, but I remember running that Irwin stamped pipe on your engine at the Internats and good god, it sounded like that rod was gonna fly through the case even just starting it on the bench.
But yeah, I'm right there with you Randy, why change the recipe when it's already good? I just hope the lake lays down for the race. There's some kitty's that have been waiting to stretch their legs. I know of at least 3-4, including Otto if he's still running Jeff's motor, 56-58+ mph heat racing Lynx coming out of Florida alone.

And to be perfectly honest, the Stamp pipe is faster,but here's the deal....
I only own ONE of those, and have 2 coopers. That pipe holds the W.R. due to the free flow nature, Lynns pipe has better deceleration, due to the backpressure. With the Irwin it bicycles into the corner, not pulling the motor back.
BUT the Cooper, with its extra weight, allows me to carry the nose higher thru the corner, without having to ad positive to the lower, thus making it more heat-race friendly.
Loose is fast, but 25 points wont get it done. period. And its not quite as hard when it hits.....
Remember my one on one with Gilbert. The Stamp pipe would have hit too hard when the water got sloppy, and a start would have cost me that one......Championship that is.
There is a method to my madness.
And that motor you refer to Jr, is my backup still.
Jeffro built that one, and it is eight years old, still original case, Fulton crank, and sleeve.
