This thing is nuts, ran it pretty rich and was taking it very easy just letting it break in a little bit more like Neal suggested, and WOW, still just so much power even just going easy, this thing really is going to be an animal once its dropped its nuts!

I came back from running and the wife asked why I had this big goofy smile on my face, I just start giggling like a school boy when I start thinking about how powerful this motor felt already when I wasnt even thrashing it!

Temped it after the tank, and was at 90degreed celsius. Whats the ideal temp for these once race tuned?

somewhere around 100C is fine....... these engines like to run really cool, especially so after my mods

I am happy your liking the engine......Your going to have a pile of fun with it I'm sure !
