Cd -- Thanks. I need to address other issues before I move forward with this.

arcosine -- That's a pretty tall tire. Equivalent to 7.60-15? I've got stock tires (165R-15, equivalent to 6.50-15) on the back and 165/50R-15 on the front.

Was the variable main jet in a stock carb? Google shows them for Dellorto and Weber carbs. Did it run hot?

I've done the brakes front and rear, and rebuilt the front suspension. My problem must be in the alignment or bearing pre-load. Has anyone done a comparison of coast-down time across various vehicles? My son's SRT-8 takes a lot longer to shed 20 mph, and that's with much wider tires. I should probably raise the question in General Efficiency.
