I was using a JP-3 before on smaller tracks and it was very fast.

Top speed means more heat, more heat means more expansion..witch make little tiny air leaks into big giant air leaks..Just saying. it dont mean that's what's happening to you..Personally I think its your gear ratio...but you may want to check the rod and crank pin for play also, and the front engine bearing..V-specs need a little more TLC than other Mills, especially after break in..Good luck..Keep us posted
