not sure about your carb selection, but ive got a 1915 with dual 44 webers, unported cb o44 heads with 40 x 35.5 valves, lightened flywheel, and a vz 15 cam with stock rockers, my opinion is i really like it other than it lacks a little on the bottem end but i think if i had kept a "stock" flywheel it would have been better but if i ever go back into it i will probably just put a 110 cam in it with either 1.25 or 1.4 rockers and keep the lightened flywheel. my 2 cents

Web Cam 218 with 1.25 rockers. 40x35.5 heads with a mild port job and set the compression at 9:1 or so. I also HIGHLY recommend you invest in a counterweighted crank.

My 1915 has c25 scat cam, along with all the other scat internals. 041 heads ( not sure on the valve size or if anything is done) dual weber 40s. Lightened flywheel, pullin the 6rib. the cam definitly lacks on the bottom a bit, but thats nothing a slip of the clutch wont take care of for how it runs all around. I love my setup for what it is. :mrgreen:

VZ 15 Stock heads with high rev springs, screamed for 1915. Great performance, reliable also. Sounded awsome, but I'm easily impressed, HAHa
