Ive found a problem
 
So I was out runnin the trmoer buggy today and at high speeds it kept on cutting out so
first thought was to lean or to rich so I messed with settings for awhile and came to the conclusion thats not the problem
second thought I seen air bubbles in fuel tank and line so I continued to makes sure everyhting was sealed properly and no air was getting into line i installed new fuel line problem not solved
By now I was getting pissed and could not figure it out so took th tank out and notices it rides directly on the chassis NOT GOOD i put some O rings between the chaasis and fuel tank BAM problem solved
After further investigation it turns out that the vibration of the chaasis was tranfering to the fuel tank h=thereofre causeing the fuel to be shakin up and creating air bubbles at high speed causeing car to run super lean and cut out
Hope this helps out someone in the future

This miss, did it occur near top end? like it would cut and never get past that certain rpm, kinda like a rev limiter?

yes the other redcts have the o rings to stop vibration but the tremor the tank is screwed on right threw the chassis and no o ring
