    Cart Engine RPM's

    "Ok, but still, what kind of overlap are we looking at at high rpm's 12000 or so?" possibly none-overlap is a single item to think of in an engine package.efficent ports may need very little duration(overlap for that matter) to flow enough to support a given engine size well past...
