Yeah it's probably closer to 200 I use a cheap Duratrax temp tool and I also seal all my motors as soon as I get them. I preheat to 200 before each run and I ran a sock on the head during first couple quarts to keep temps over 200. Our track is pretty big but real tight and technical so I think that has alot to do with low temps but I am going to flush the needles and check idle gap then test and tune some more. Thanks for the info guys!
