10 Tanks at WOT? Most you might need to do is 3 or 4.... the rest needs to be done at the track, leaning the engine on each tank.

Probably with 10 tanks, your engine is completely broken-in and a little shot... lean it and see how goes, a low pinch engine doesn't means low performance... try and see.
