My "P-51" has a 4-1 holeshot exhaust, K&N air filter, and dyno run.  118RWHP  I am 
rying for 120.  I still need to mess with the carbs more.  I have all kinds of junk on 
my Max.  It does not look stock at all.  Hope finally this weekend I will get the pics 
up.  What I did was to put two 6 gallon alumn. dune buggy cillinder gas tanks.  They 
are 8" in di. and 36" long.  I made a brace that clamps to the grab rail behind the 
back seat.  This mounts to the center of each tank.  The lead of each tank has a brace 
that runs down to the chrome bolt that holds the stock exhaust in place.  I plumed the 
tanks to each other with a "T" and hocked them up to the stock tank line with a manuel 
tank selector found on old pick-ups.  This inturn leads to the fuel pump.  An old P-51 
pilot from WWII saw the set up and remarked that they looked like P-51 drop tanks.  
Sooooo I painted the old P-51 star and bar on the side of each one.  He Loved it.  
With the drop tanks 6+6 and internal fuel +3 I hav!
e 15 gallons on bord. I get 40 MPG = 600 mile range.  IE: The "P-51" Long Range Max.  
You might want to invest in a dyno run and a leek down/compression test.  I am 175lbs 
+ 120lbs fuel + 50lbs travel bag = 345LBS  I do 80MPH for four hours stright and still 
get around 40+MPG.  Make sure you have 40+PSI on your tires.  I droped down to 32MPG 
because my son had let the air out in my tires to 20 PSI!!!!!  Just like Dad, can't 
leave anything alone >;-P.  Check your plugs and see if they are the right color.
