I hope you tuned this set-up. You would have seen a rich or lean condition as the reason for the stumble.

Michelin,

It looks like the coupler to the vararam in the picture is off, didn`t know if you noticed that. Oops, just seen the little print under the photo

You have to tune it with the spray so you know what is going on during the shot. Cars cant run the same tune with a big shot. Timing should be pulled, it should run richer (tuned with the fuel jet size in your case) and its a good idea to run a heat range colder on the plugs.

If you had a tune with 13:1 a/f ratio with an aggressive high octane timing table, you are not in a good position for a 100+ shot.
