Bought some small parts from Schumann's this week: a timing set, and those 360 degree cam bearings (durabond). Good parts, but what surprised me was that Verne himself handled my phone call, and even though his business is not on the internet, no website, etc., he is remarkably efficient.

Getting ready to install a Mummert blower cam and a little refresh on the ECZ display motor...got to thinking it might be fun to dyno an otherwise "stock" 292 with the blower cam and VS57 blower. Hopefully I can do that next year.

Daniel: You could save yourself the cost and time of doing a stock 292, with supercharger check out, by just going back in YBM. As I recall "Pegleg" & J. Mummert built a close copy of the original 312 for testing. I don't recall all the details but I believe it initially tested at about 378 H.P. Maybe Frank will post the results?..

And I believe it made over 400 foot lbs of torque as well.
