It's not stock, but I get it. From what I understand, it was built to run on the short track and only put in this truck when the customer never paid for the build.

Any ideas as to why it is lacking acceleration and power? Could it be a fuel issue? Carb? Does the engine just need to "dry out" after it had so much oil in it? Do I just need to drive it and see if the performance improves over time?
