Well ya, you have to run them around 245-275 for the best performance. Sounds like your needles are wrong if your running at 260 and its a turd. Here is Brent's needle settings to help you out a little.

Plug = O.S. P4
Pipe = Factory Team 2035
Restrictor = 7 mm
Head Shims = 0.50 mm
Fuel = Sidewinder 30% World Blend
Top End Needle = 2 1/2 Turns Out From Bottom
Bottom End Needle = 3 1/4 Turns Out From Bottom
Temp = ~250 Degrees F

I would also put this motor in a RC8B, them OD cars are slow.
