Default New PB yesterday

Got a new PB yesterday at 66's bracket race. Track was hookin' well, got eliminated in the 2nd round due to a red light, I anticipated the tree a little too much.

10.455 @ 127.8mph

Nice run. What was your best 60ft?

1.48(same as last year) was the 60'

It feels like its bogging down a little bit right at the apex of the wheelie. Still haven't figured out what it could be.

you got a wideband on that thing yet? would tell you if it's going lean at the converter hit and that's your problem. Perhaps fuel slosh too, run a rubber hose from both vent tubes and cut a slit in the top of it and see if it improves, fuel could be running out of the vent tubes and dumping down the carb.

No wideband yet, i'll try the hose suggestion.
