Main jet is too small,I think.
Also upsize the air corrector.


(chokes or Upper venturis, he didn't like when I just called them venturis, what's the more common word? )

Vents


Engle 120 Grind Cam 1 6/8" exhaust headers.

Seem a little too big the headers do.What heads?Valve sizes?

Short manifolds, and short air cleaners to let the lid close.

He predicts that the advice will be to go with smaller [ 32mm? ]

I wouldn't.

chokes/venturis but says that we'll sacrifice a lot of power that way.

At the top of the rev range for sure.

He thinks we're fighting against the short manifolds, and exhaust headers that are possibly to large. I think he also thought someone might suggest F7 emulsion tubes.

On top of all that he thinks the restricted air flow from the short air cleaners is
probably robbing a lot of power.

Possibly.I have a 2110cc motor with 36mm dells.It seems snappy enough with the short manifolds.My aircleaners are only 1 1/2" tall too.I have to open the throttle a bit when dropping the clutch.Perhaps you need some practice or instruction with manual shifting..

OTOH,if its a huge sag,the idles seem small or the mixture is too rich or lean.Any popping
at all?Carb popping is lean,exhaust is rich.Dirt in the "circuitry"of the carb won't help
either.Have they been gone through recently?
