I fully concur with Roy here.
Whenever I fly vintage motors, they have markedly better "off the pad" kick/performance.
Gives creedance to the concept that "yesterday's" BP was higher energy than today's.
I also wonder if "aging" the BP has any role ?

The delay grain produces MARKEDLY more tracking smoke in the old motors as well.

I have some real 1972 B14s with real drilled cores.
While the pressed-core B14/B8 kicks well off the pad, the older drilled core B14s accelerate "Warp-like" compared to the pressed cores.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL
, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !

Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, and HAVOC !
