Although the tank may be the issue, I think the problem could be with your throttle linkage. Are you sure the throttle is closing fully when you are idling/braking?

I just did the pressure test and there were no bubbles coming out or water inside the tank.

I'm pretty sure it's ok I will check to make sure.

Masin Make sure you dont have any Fuel lines being pinched to restrict the flow of Fuel.

OK I will look at that too.

I had one last question, do I use the heavy or lighter clutch spring on carbon clutch shoes?

Ran back down to Revelation to finish break in on the new engine and to test out the LRC block and wow, what a difference. Mo's setup works fantastic down there! It was 92°, I ran AE 47.5wt front and 40wt rear (613cst and 500 according to AE). The only other difference off the top of my head were droop (106/120), ride height 27/27, rebound at 10%, 5/5/5 diff oils, and the Ackerman washers are 4 over on the outside and 4 under on the inside. I would have left the washers but they rub on the front brace so I switched back and didnt notice any difference. I plan on trying 5/5/4 when the update diff shims arrive (hopefully tomorrow) but it is exceptionally good right now.

It carries a retarded amount of speed through corners. It literally seems like I'm watching a video of a race car in fast forward going around the corners (was laughing on the drivers stand). It changes direction on a dime and is super stable while doing it.

I ran AKA Impacts (soft) with AKA red foams but they werent as good as the Proline Blockade in M3. They did however last at least twice as long as the Prolines! I'm going to try the Gridiron IIs next time out but I think that is about the only other change for now. For not breaking anything, it was an expensive day blowing out 2 sets of tires tuning and testing.

Hmm, having trouble appending the setup sheet because the file size is just a touch too big. I'll work on that.
