VES isn't worth a ****. I am rebuilding my edge motor right now with non VES cylinders. More power and it runs cooler. :face-icon-small-win

you will find that you use significantly more fuel with a non-ves engine...more power potential, less maintainence at the price of decreased range......i'll take the valves

IndyDan doesn't think gas mileage will go down THAT much.
