I do believe that they are the 260's.

For a stock motor? 120-140. They should all be close to each other and in no
case further apart than 15 percent of the highest number.

My 260 puts out 125 on all holes with 37cc heads.

For twins 142-145 on port, and 135 all on starboard. Sound good?

I have run into the starboard side being about 10 lbs higher. Not sure why but it hasn't hurt anything yet. I just checked mine and it's between 200 and 210 all around. :p

Sounds like 21 to 23 cc heads to me.

I didn't say it was stock!! Hey, how much meth do you go thru in a weekend?
I'm having a hell of a time finding it over here and I have a function this weekend. Will 3 gallons get me thru 10 or so runs?

I don't run the button very much these days, but when I did a gallon would have been plenty for 10 passes. I would not run any more than 170 psi cranking with the juice.
