First race with the clocked b5 pro.... Amain win!

Ran pretty strong all day, had a chance to TQ but flamed out. Started fourth in the Amain, crossed the line first, and never looked back. This engine is a real screamer, awesome powerband. Strong throughout the whole range but smooth! Came off after the main at 217, could still be leaned a bit. Engine could outpull most of the motors out there, and at 1/2-3/4 throttle!


I did run into a problem (sort of):

When I would fire the engine up (from ambient) it would start a little rich, and return to idle well. However, after a few full speed passes, the engine would come in from full throttle with a high idle for a few seconds, and then come down to a normal idle. I tried richening, leaning, but nothing seemed to work. The engine ran fine that way, no problems with bottom end or flameouts, but it seams a little weird. Could it be the idle gap (too big, too large?)
