alot of good ideas, thanks. Leonard is definatly right I do not want to add weight, although since I am a bit of a fat ass(235lbs) a few pounds in the right rear to offset my weight wouldnt be to bad and will get my cross weights closer to even.

force fed had some good ideas but I believe they have a rule stating "no ignition retard devices allowed."I'll have to take another look at the rules. I already run a 15w50 oil too.

but I think I might just be ok w/ a paper filter and some bigger jetting, plus a minimal amout of ballast just to be on the safe side, say like 25 lbs.

thank for the ideas though and I'll keep you guys posted on how it turns out.
