WOT = Wide Open Throttle
HSN = High Speed Needle
LSN = Low Speed Needle
MSN = Middle Speed Needle

You can do it on the car with everything in place, but instead of the bench tank, do 3 tanks over the starting box, with a rich mixture at a throttle position that the engine doesn't exceed
200°F. Then do the 3 track tanks
For the Sirio the basic carb settings to start are:
HSN = 5.5 turns out
LSN = flush with the end of the slide
MSN = DON'T TOUCH THIS!!!!!

i think i can handle that!

so over the box means just let it idle off the ground, ill have to get some of that cabinet stuff that doesnt let the dishes slide around and put it on my box so my car doesnt fall off, my box is chrome plated on top and my car would vibe off.

Not exactly idle, but on throttle, enough to get the engine revin' at no more than 200°F and 2 stroking but with rich mixture.

Forget about the old Sirios, not enough power, and lots of problems with the 2 needle carb. Just stay with the new Evo's.

Yes.
Keep temperature near 200, under 200 you are not breaking-in the engine, over 205 you are heating it to much at this ppint of initial run.
2 stroking is the condition in which the engine sounds clean, like if you were running, but at break-in period it is kinda like still heavy, spitting some oil through the pipe. Once it is broken-in, and you have settled your HSN for full power you'll notice the difference.
Try getting on to Trinity's web page, and under tips there is an article about tuning your engine correctly writen by J.Cyrul. Hope it is still there. Or try getting some help at the track by some of the experts, it is kinda difficult to explain over here what is 4 stroking and 2 stroking.

I have an old Sirio with the "bad" carb and I have never seen an engine as strong or fast.I thought the new ones have con rod problems.
