The Shearer are deff. a good pipe. They pull harder than the CPI once you get moving. But the CPI leave the line MUCH harder than the shearer.
My brother had a set of shearers last year, while I was running the CPI. Our bikes were set up basically the same (421 cub) and we built both motors at the same time. Mine would jump him pretty good out of the hole,he would slowly gain on me the whole track, but by the time we crossed the finish line it was too late. Mine would outrun him prolly 4 out of 5 passes. Dont get me wrong, the shearer are an awsome pipe. You could tell they pull harder after jumping off mine and on to his. The CPI would just jump it to much off the line to catch up...Perhaps a slight change in gearing may have helped him out?
