I think you're still falling off on the top end..

How is it that I keep running quicker and quicker with the same mph?
I'm not saying I doubt you but when you start running quicker E.T's, it's hard to think that there is something wrong...you know what I'm saying?
I would have thought that bumping the timing would give you more HP if it was set at optimum. I ran .2 quicker with the same MPH?
I'm running 5800rpms through the traps. I really think that my cam is about out of steam at that point. It's only rated for 2000-6000
I could change my jetting maybe and see if I can pick up some more mph with that...I'm at 72/80 jets now.
Maybe it wants more jetting.
