hum. . .this is interesting
so who wants to be the first to do it. . .I'd do it if I had an extraFCA laying around

oh, BTW, they reported anywhere from 85-110hp gains. . .I doubt it, but I can see where it would help support.

RE: hum. . .this is interesting
modifying the FCA is where your are going to get your gains. . .the pump mod is only going to help with flow.
Mayfair doesnt have a CP3, he's got a VP44.
if I could track down a FCA or even the metering valve I'd do it.

RE: hum. . .this is interesting
If I was going to do it I would not try to do it free hand. (way too much chance of scewing up the valve plunger.
I would build a small wood box and melt some "Cerrobend" metal then inbead the plunger 1/2 way into the Cerrobend and wait for it to solidify 3 to 5 min.
Then you could chuck the Cerrobend in milling vise and use a Diamond or solid carbide ballend burr to cut the slots.
That way both slots would be even and matched and there no chance slipping and damageing the plunger body.
Cerrobend melts at 158 deg. F
The easyest way to melt it is with two pans, one larger than the other.
Put water in the larger pan the Cerrobend in the smaller pan then put the smaller pan in to the larger one and heat the water on the stove.
Once you have done your machine work on the valve plunger put a piece of wire through one of the slots and suspend it in hot water the Cerrobend will melt and fall off. Then wipe the plunger clean with a soft rag blow dry withe compressed air coat it with oil and your good to go.
