Hey Bruce,
Glad to run into you here.
Just posting to hear of your ongoing joys with the re-worked Drouin.
I need to hear lasting success as about all prior owners have either died
got divorced, blew up or plain gave up on Drouins, like its a bad ju ju trinket.
I sent a handful of era magazine articles to DynoDave.
Of special interest to me was that engine size did not inhibit
Drouin boost feeding up 2500 cc by Tom Drouin advertising.
Said it'd make about same boost, if you can load the engine and
not just smoke tire or wheelie.
Tom states 11CR ok but not to use Combat or any hot rod cam.
But I've got story of youthful success on 11.5 CR and 4S cam.
So hoping Drouin was misled by the standard wisdoms on
positive displacement blowers instead of turbine belt drive type.
I think you have converted to 520 chain and wondering how that's
working out. I gave up on those too thin fast wear fanning over sprocket
teeth on both my SV650 and Peel Combat, converted back to 530
and steel teeth.
