I guess we should start at the beginning.. whats the
engine and combo... and have you done a compression
check to see if you have a valve issue(or a leak down)
and is it on decell they see flames

The engine is a 416 with brodix b1ba heads and a 600 lift roller cam. Compression is 10.5 to 1. I have not done a compression check. and it is on acceleration it seems

How big is the carb and whats the jetting.. sounds
like your putting raw fuel into the pipes... also
are you running a PV and the biggest thing is what
are the plugs telling you.. sounds like they should
be dark if you pull one or two at the end of the track

So is the mph picking up and are the flames less
