UPDATE: I found out why the engine was running lean and the stumble. Also the number 8 cylinder was getting oil in it. The intake was leaking causing the lean condition and also pulling oil into the #8 intake port. I also found out that I had WAAAAY too much timing in the motor. Not sure if both of these problems was a result of me thrashing hard to try and get this thing ready for the event or what but I re-sealed the intake and set the timing properly. This thing feels really good now. Waiting for the next opportunity to take this thing back out to the track.
