Guys,
One thing to remember, by lowering the head we reduce the RPM ranges which will be available. We are essentially moving the CG further up which creates a sensitivity at certain RPM's. I personally run 1500-1600 and 1950-2150.
If you are dead set on running RPM ranges from 1700-1850, you may need to go back to the longer main shaft. The longer main shaft provides more stability "pendulum effect" at a wider RPM range.
Thanks,
Matt
