This thing seems to have a very small "sweet spot" and most if not all of the time I cannot seem to find it. Is there another carb that will make tuning easier on this motor?

Pulled the carb earlier and the crank has no noticeable scratches, looks like new. I'll check the rest tomorrow.

I bet the small sweet spot problem is due to the fact that the engine is dremel modified all over the place. I bet it has nothing to do with 10 gallons or the carb.

Your pinch is prolly gone. 10 gallons is alot, so at on etime it had to run good in order to get those 10 gallons. Motor has served its purpose and should be put to rest.

John Adams (some of you may know him) has 20+ gallons on his 3 year old WS7II. Still runs strong to this day. All internals are original on it, no pinch or anything.

Next time He's at the races I'll ask him again. Every time I've ever raced with him in the past two years it has been the same motor, it was always really fast too.

John Adams is the taller white dude that's with RV alot of the time, he's been racing for years. He raced Venture raceways before it closed, then DD's tracks 2 years ago, now he's at Leisure every once in a while.
I am not here to defend the guy, I really don't care if anyone believes me I am just relaying what he told me, he seems like an honest guy.

I really think the tuning window is so small because of the mods done to the internals.

Probably, I got pretty close yesterday, the thing is though, 1-2 hrs too far and it's really lean bogging or not running because it's so rich.
Oh yeah I blew another rear diff yesterday. Is it possibly my driving style? I blip the throttle, ALOT, should I be more smooth and will that save diffs?

yes try smoother throttle transitions. That will help you hold your line on the track as well.
