I remember the Engine Builder sayin something to the fact that i may have to run 5 gallons of racing fuel to every gas fill up.i dont know if that gives me more horses or not maybe you guys can chime in on that.

I think he is talking about port volume.
Ya,,,,what CC intake runners and what chamber size.
Again, what size carb(what CFM rating, not 4" X 8")?

I think we need more info.
Find your "bill of sale".
It should have part numbers on it or some information about what you bought.
x2.....
You have the potential to be there with the right "combinaton" but your parts descriptions are too vague......Exact compression, port volume, etc. would help. One wrong piece of the puzzle and you can be way out of the ballpark on what you want this thing to do. Hopefully they are some oval port Racerites' or something small.
