Some really experienced and talented drivers and tuners were telling me that it was taking forever because it was far too rich, and the engine was choking on all the fuel it was getting. So they'd lean it out just a tad, and it would lean bog like mad. It's like it has to be ridiculously rich and warmed up for a while or it just won't go.

My low speed is a turn in from flush, and my high speed is barely two turns in from flush. I keep hearing the same thing from people who help me tune.

"That's WEEEEEEEEIRD."

But aside from that, when it's warmed up and running well, it's more than enough engine. I'm certain it could keep up with the GRPs that several people are running. I'm new to offroad, and having trouble with consistency.
Your HSN setting is not right, go to flush with it or an hour in from flush, and turn the lsn 1 1/2 turns in from where it is now, and you should be golden, the hsn can't be turned in much more than that, use the fire out of the lsn, good solid idle and plenty of rip on top with good smoke, use P3 plug, what pipe do you run, and do you have the breakin shim in still, if so remove it, keep me posted.
