Thanks, timing, jetting and valve lash. Found 70HP today It actually made a little better pull today with 35 deg timing and spark arrestor off, but not really real world.

As a side note. Made back to back pulls with and without water running through the chiller. I forgot to turn it on actually. Made over 30HP difference.
I have a Baker Engineering 7.5# mechanical pump on this engine. It is supposed to support 1200HP, but it won't keep up. 3 pounds of fuel pressure at 6000rpm with a -8 line in and out. Might have to ditch it for something else. I love the simplicity of it but ? Ideas?

can you change the spring to up the pressure to 10lbs?
