I don't know why but it sure moved. I still can't believe I buried the
needle when a week ago I was complaining how it struggled to hit 100.
Weird. Good, but weird.
Could be the road was downhill a bit, strong tail wind....that doesn't
quite explain it does it?
I'll test it again as soon as I can, in the name of science of course.

Wouldn't a GPS tell you if you went OVER 120 after the needle stops?
Guy in
my club has one he carries all the time and also works for a place that
makes the chips. Pretty awesome the info they can give you.
Very cool on getting her up there, Jeff but I hope you won't make a
habit of
it! I'll bet if we counted there one or two new gray hairs upstairs!

I've been "tuning up" this week, new plugs, a splash of SeaFoam in
the
tank, a tank of 93 octane just for fun. Adjusted valves although I
don't think I changed much, they do sound a tad different, mostly
quieter but one seems a bit louder, haven't tried to figure which one
yet. "Synch'd carbs although I just checked 'em and never touched
the
synch screw as they were fine.
Anyway, went for a bit of cruise today. Seemed to be running fine.
On
the highway she felt particularly happy so I canned it and it shoot
up
to 90 like nothing, then 100, then 110, 115 and I buried it. ?? I've
never gotten that much out if it. I guess I was doing 120. Yikes.
I
better go back out and verify that......wow.
