This will not be noticed on the track and under race conditions. After sitting for say a couple minutes of idle once you pull full throttle the bottom should have "NOT" loaded up very much at all and have no risk of flaming due to loading up within thta time frame. Top end should pull well but won't have that scream some other engines will.

I always get whoevers engine idling well first with the bottom, start with the top rich on the track and work it in until it's sounding good.
V.I.P. thanks for popping in ....alan is really good with these motors as he is sponsered by them ....he knows them upside down and backwards ....listen to the words that are coming off his key board ...he the man on some grp's

thats why people get them to lean up top because they dont sound the same as most motors when they get on the pipe ....as long as your keeping up or pulling someone i dont care what it sounds like .....rock on
