Default Flat spot gone and produced new PB
As mentioned on here previously , I had a flat spot/ cough/ stumble, which ever word you like to use, after fitting my 950HP. I was advised to up the squirters to number 35s with hollow screws. To say it worked is an understatement. New PB of 11.36 @ 120 mph. Wow. Thanks for all the advice given.

Nice, now just make sure your squirters are not the type with pressed in brass tubes.
They can come loose and end up going through your engine.

There are a few ponchos or poncho powered race cars here but not very many.
