used to chew through rear ones due to vespa being rear heavy by a mile, but super light front didn't wash out like it did on lesser tyres. nice soft compound etc.

It's definately methanol time.

You'll need to up your jetting by 40% though.

The guys at that briggs and scrap-iron flathead forum where you stumbled across my post about the AMR superchargers all seem to change their oil after each race when running methanol.

Get that dialed, and then it's time to start working the block. Fit a bigger valve, and hog out the port to really get more into the cylinder.

How much quicker does it reach speed now?

It grunts now, used to struggle to do 65-70kph at Hamilton but can do 80kph by the end of the straight, could go faster but tyres are that shit that when you enter the corner at that speed due to flat velodrome the side wall is just flexing heaps and making me do weird snakeys hence why i want new tyres now. 90kph should be quite achievable at taupo or rotorua drome with big banks.

dont know if i really need to up the jets by 40% lol at current 5 mins of droming drinks 1L of 98, id love to put a wideband up it and see how rich it is cause i think at current its so rich it chokes up a bit but when it boosts it loves it and just burns plug off haha. i can see why they would change their oil, as far as im aware meth is corrosive to alloy and since the block is alloy if you got it in your oil i guess your engine would dissolve from the inside out.
