but it is also much cooler because it has a gear driven final drive, which makes it much more visceral.

So I grab the counter in anticipation of the impending loss of consciousness secondary to precipitous drop in blood pressure.
It did not come, so I slowly opened my eyes.

I'd be careful with how much boost you use as it might push out the head gasket at higher rpm's.

The counter check blocks flow to the flux capaciter. So you need to adjust flow to the bladder valve. I usually avoid carbs, but I do know that much.

your flux capacitor might not be functioning correctly because your R/R isn't feeling the connection between itself and the stator. you can use a tire gauge to balance the performance.

yeah, but the petcock is vacuum operated, so you need to make sure that your air filter isn't clogged.

The filter is a problem, but if you pull some power off the indicator light should go off and you can complete the mission. If need be you do the first leg part 135 then the return leg part 91.
That is kind of twisting the rules, but not really.

First question is if we are dealing with a 5th gen flux capacitor or a 6th gen flux capacitor because there is a difference in the connections and how the feel....
