Hey guys,I just bought a 2000 SRX from my buddy. Currently all stock but with it I got all his race parts. Nothing has been used in 8 years and even then it was only used a for literally a couple runs on asphalt. Here's the list:
-Jimetti (MegaPower) hand build "race" pipes (high RPM I think) with "stinger" silencers
-MegaPower power dome heads (2 sets; high compression and higher comp)
-Mikuni TM38mm (i think) carbs
-Digitron EGT set-up with 2 sets of probes
-"Race" CDI
-VForce carbon fiber reed set
-Cylinders were mildly ported (just cleaned up the first time and then the second time my buddy says it took Mark about a hour to do all three).

My question is: Does anyone have any thoughts/opinions on what this combo would make for HP, what would that be capable of running 1/4-mile asphalt, and how much is all this worth if I wanted to sell it?

Mark, are you out there?

Thanks for you time!

ALL GOOD STUFF. MARK JIMETTI ( mega power racing ) NEW HOW TO MAKE HORSEPOWER AND SOLD SOME REAL NICE STUFF. HE MADE A 780 KIT THAT WAS VERY FAST, HARD TO SAY WHAT HP WOULD BE. 3:16 (yammie tony)
 
scott,
if you decide to sell any of that stuff i might be interested in the carbs, pipes, and race cdi. i borrowed your clutch tool a few years ago, you still live in topsham?

I bought all this stuff minus the cyls (Scott is still using those). does anyone have any idea what rpm these pipes were designed to run at? i need to get a set of cyls ported to match this setup and i'm not having much luck in my searches. Scott's friend that he got the sled from can't recall so i'm in a pickle here. any leads would be appreciated

Click to expand...

mark told me his race pipes should run 10,200 rpm if they are indeed high rpm pipes.
 
Mega power

Mark never built a set of pipes. He bought them from other pipe builders. He didn't even port his own cylinders 90% of the time. He had Bo do them. The last 780 he actually built I helped him build which was my 01 SRX. We ended up using Bender Big Bore pipes. My cylinders were one of the few he did himself. It took him almost 8 months to get the job done before we could test and tune. LOL. And this was the only sled in his garage. He was a very smart man when it came to physics, just didn't have the ambition to build sleds. That is why he gave it all up and went back to his passion playing bass guitar.

I know for a fact Mark ported these cylinders (on my sled now) as he did them while the owner (at the time, 2002?) of my sled was there at his shop/garage. They took the engine apart, Mark ported the cylinders while Joe cleaned the rest of the parts, and then reassembled. These are still 700 not 780's. The pipes as I recall he made, but I could be wrong. One of the pipes does have a "J" kind-of carved into it. The J being for Jimetti Engines I'm guessing since he was using that as a "business" then. I'd post a picture of the J, but I haven't figured out how to yet. And I agree, he is a very smart man.
 
he told me his trail pipes pass for stock? im in the same kind of problem with him right now to, im trying to figure out what he did to my engine porting wise
 
Post some pics of the pipes.

Also ...measure the pipe length from the exhaust flange cylinder mating surface to the end of the cone just to where the stinger starts.

To measure pipes I use a string...you want to measure the length as though you were passing right thru the centre of the pipe.

Without the builders specs or a dyno run we can at least approximate the design rpm band by the pipes length to get a starting point...not optimum but better then nothing.

mega power perfoemance

Mega Power perfomance was the trade name. Giammatti as you see is spelled with a G. He did alot of dealings with Maxium performance but they might be Jaws pipes. 2002 was the whole summer mine sat in his little garage also.

Yes, his last name is spelt with a G, but it is Giammattei. The sled I bought had a sticker on it saying "Jimetti Engines", I also have the run stand which he sold to my buddy with a "Jimetti Engines" sticker still on it. If I can find out how to post pictures I will. See also http://www.puresixtyfour.com/bio.html
