Schumacher Alloy Sintered Fuel Filter (Purple)

Is that one of the new novarossi inline filters:

No its a Schumacher Alloy Sintered Fuel Filter (Purple) [SCHU2851]. I chose it because it was one of the few filters sold on amain that has a clip to secure it. $7 not too expensive either.

My btta is lacking on top end, it feels like you are pulling a boat down the straight. Bottom end is great it just doesn't have the top end it should. It has about 2.5 gallons of VP 30%. I am using c6tgc medium plugs and the weather here in MS is in the upper 90's. Im running the 2096/29 pipe and manifold. My temps are in the 265-270 range.

Could my problem be too lean on the bottom and fat on top or is there something else that could be my problem? There really isn't any indications that I am lean on the bottom and I have good smoke when I get on the throttle.

What are some things to check? Thanks

Tip: the ultra low pro heads read much hotter than normal heads , tune for power then check temps for reference

Default Heat

It has been in the upper 90's here too. I put a #7 plug in it and it was easier to tune with the heat .You Might give that a try.

Also what insert do you have in the carb? 7mm is the magic one, but maybe you need the 7.5 for your altitude or humidity level.

I had the same problem with my Fusion X3 lightning in my mbx6, running 265 for temp.Tried everything, even messed with the tank and nothing fixed the top end power. Replaced the tank last weekend and ran great, not saying this is ur problem but worth a try. My tank was only 6 months old as well.

Richen a little at a time on the bottom and lean a little on top
Until you get that nice high top end note then recheck your bottom
End and idle.Very fine adjustments at a time. I use a 7mm insert and 6 nova plug in my btt, my pitman was
Was very impressed with my btt performance last meet

I am running the 7mm insert. I will give these recommendations a try.

Thanks for all the help!

Solution : put 17011 front bearing in your engine , its the best front bearing on the market , no question

Castor oil is good for your engine
