I'll be interested to see what you come up with. My biggest worry with China vs. Bosch elements is metallurgy, although fit & finish is also important.
Please keep us posted on what your ideas about cam profiles/heights are. I'd worry about blindly messing with the injection duration. There are a lot of variables in this. Really getting the big elements to run right will probably have something to do with a customized timing advance device.
As for you guys (tomnik and OM616) talking about how nobody knows anything anymore... I agree people want quick, thoughtless money. A shop wants to do something they have done 1000 times before, they want to know their profit margin ahead of time. Its near impossible to get anything "custom" done for a reasonable amount of money, and most of the "custom" guys are B.S. anyway.
I don't agree that mechanical governors are the way to go, but until I've acquired some hardware to play with, my hands are tied on that one. I'm hoping to have something rudimentary by the end of the summer.
Electronics could make MW pump tuning a heck of a lot less expensive, more precise, and yield better running engines.
