Just ran my Fire 11 on the track for the first time - in my RC8.2. 2058 pipe, stock AE clutch, stock gearing. Ran into some tuning headaches.. Kept cutting out. Today was probably 8-10C colder, and more humid than the last time I ran and had a decent tune, but on a parking lot. Even then it was cutting out sometimes. Weird.. Anyway, after lots of back on forth on the needles and changing in a new C5TGC I got it sorted.. Really good engine. Was comically rocket-like on the back straight. Not enough room even to really open up. Next time I might even go down on the CB... I think it's probably accurate that a Fire 11 is too much for a buggy.. Was fun though.

On a bigger, more flowing track it'd be really wicked.. Unfortunately the local track here is a short-ish, treacherous minefield..
