[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 175922, member: 98"] well id say as i dont know for sure ...that that the 1500 cams are quite mild ...there is also the fact that a 6 cylinder boxer is rather unbalanced as compared to a four cylinder boxer motor ...both these facts limit rpm ...even the valkery has really small carbs compared to any yr oldwing 4s .....so im sure a lot of the rpm in 1500s is low and needs to be ...a better look at things is to compare 1800 rpm figures ...as there is more common traits to these motors ...than to the 4s..... in my work i found all kinds of power and reliability in the oldwing 4s ....same may go for thee 6s ...seems people like fstsix have some rather powerful 1500s and is the guy to talk to on rpm hes getting ....as he there and owns the goods to talk about .....im sure the c5 will be great addition to 1500s plain and simple ...it so much better timing many times over anything honda made .....and a great start ...seems like the 1500 is full of interdependent baloney tech ..that could be made many times more reliable....making a 1500 better than its already super reputation for super reliability......
