Maybe its not the dist. then. I was talking to a friend of mine and he said maybe too much timing and too small jetting on the carb. If I read them correctly the carb has # 72 jets on it which sounds really small.

narrow exhaust=low end
wider exhaust= top end

and y pipes are generally low end as well

does that make sense??

I agree with everything you said but I dont think having mid lengths and a y pipe would cause the engine to stumble at high rpms. I think it would limit my top end HP potential like you said.
