    It isn't possible to build a race chassis too stiff, as long as there are crumple zones built in to help absorb impact from collisions or rollover.

    I always use a vacuum gauge to adjust my idle mixture. That might be a good place to start. Adjust each barrell a half a turn at a time until you have the highest vacuum reading you can get.
