If i'm thinking right the two outer exhaust ports are symmetric and the inner port is off center. Wouldn't that inner port be longer than the other two?
If it is than the center primary would have to make up for that.
Right?

Dame the HP peak will be at the top of the rpm band.

We have equal distance exhaust ports, unlike the series II. Our Valves are I E I E I E compared to yours where its like I E I E E I or so.

hehe yeah, ours are the off sequenced ports. Which is why our headers have one that reaches way out . Dame did some measurements, he'll probably pop in here in a few.
