That seems to support the philosophy of eliminating as many variables as possible. i.e. eliminate the PV and jet up.

Or perhaps use a "normal" power valve, like maybe a #65 (6.5 in.)? How much chance is there of pulling 6.5" at WOT? Take care. Tom Worthington

Actually pretty good chance in a healthy engine.
