My set up is very similar to yours.4mil long rod,mx port,high comp,t'5s,Pods or open air box.With 28pwk's at sea level,@70deg i ran 48pilets,jjh needles 4th clip,162 mains,air screws 1 1/4 out.I doubt your sucking the bowls dry unless your running peaked out for more than a half mile.It is possible to suck the bowls dry,the right side is usually the first to go dry.I did just that a couple years ago on a white knuckle run along the canal to Mexico.My gps said i averaged 67mph for over 11 miles before she popped.I now run 33's :biggrin:
