I'd say that you've already answered your own question...the slightest sniff of laughing gas should definitely dip you into the 10's. :icon_smile_big:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

Jim, have you looked at the ignition curve ? I can tell you mine made it's best power #'s at 35* total....further advancing/retarding dropped off the power a bunch. 34* & 36* wasn't too bad but after that the power suffered. Seems like it's running pretty good and it should be running 10's with some good air. Good luck....if the weather co-operates you should be a happy camper after the next outing.

Replace the hood and fenders with fiberglass.  Also the bumpers.  You will drop more than 100 lbs.   :icon_smile:
