got my 426 together and it runs but will not run right. i know the timing is right, but it will cut out at about 3/4 throttle. any suggestions? its also a 11:1 hig comp. piston, i was using 87 not 110 race fuel. it did this before i rebuilt the top too

I would say fuel related, jetting, open the air box up and throw in alot of fuel.

yeah,,if you changed the bore you should also address the jetting(go with stage 2),pipe,and filter(air box lid off or with holes)..good luck

Whats your current jetting at? I'd say up the main a few sizes.
