After fixing the fuel pump aneroid, I have to retract this statement.
It hurls a 2.3t truck to 100km/h in just over 15 seconds. That's on a manual box with two gear changes (start in 2nd, 2-3,3-4).

I had my fuel screw wound out only 1/4 turn which produced EGT's of 800 deg C. I've just wound it back to stock, haven't found a hill suitable for a sustained load since.
