Thanks to all for the info. I will leave as-is for now, then add the
nitrous injection when I mount the supercharger...;-)

I got the changing the mix for added boost bit from motorcycles. Some
(amateur) racers I know cut down on the oil during time trials and
races to boost performance. I think it's only a couple of percent,
though. Could be yet another myth?

Hey, speaking of myths, maybe I'll try the cow-magnets, the Pro-lube
additive, Marvel Mystery Oil... or maybe I'll just go on a diet to
improve the weightower ratio!

Ah, who needs to plane a dink anyway?

There must be something to it ... although probably dangerous for the health
of the engine.

Ever notice how a chain saw engine starts to have more throttle response and
revs higher just as it is running out of gas/oil?

Like the old racing truism. "It was running real good, right before
it blowed up."
There is horsepower and there is durability. Unfortunatly they sit on
oppisite ends of the teeter-totter. When one goes up the other goes
down.

My brother had a Kawasaki 185 Enduro once. It had an oil reservoir and an
auto-oiler system for lubing the fuel for the 2-stroke. One day we were
riding and he was really excited! "Wow! The bike's going REALLY fast
today! I wonder why?" About 5 minutes later the motor seized up ...the
tube from the auto-oiler had fallen off. So yeah, running short on oil
gives you extra power ...for awhile. Race motors are pretty well abused
anyway, so making them temporarily 'do' with a little less oil for a race
wouldn't surprise me, especially in the class races where the motors all
have the same displacement and/or the races are shorter.
