Ill usually do about 8-9 miles at a time (from my house to the beach). The whole time wot, not many stops, a few small hills.
Ive noticed my bike runs better with all the resistors and capacitors jumped in circuit (both .47 uf, 100ohm and 220ohm).
I do have pretty high compression and a TON of extra port work done (at wot, flats it'll do ~7800-8200rpms, downhill....wayy too high, about 9k's)
and with that said, i have blown through a bunch of pistons when i wasnt fully retarted with timing. plus so cal 91 "knock"tane sucks
