The engine will get better mileage once fully broken in. I also suspect being 'very new' you're running on the rich side. What size carb restrictor are you using? Also which tuned pipe?

FWIW 'The Drake' has quite a bit more throttle control compared to the mortal racer. In addition it would not surprise me he ran a small restrictor and the engine fairly lean to obtain such a number.
