So I'm pretty sure its running rich. It seems to bog a little between 1/4 throttle and half, and then after half to wot it bogs BAD, loses speed and a lot of temp

If it is actually too rich in the mid-range. raise the clip on the needle. If it was me, I would run it for 30 seconds or so right where it was missing and then do a plug chop and confirm it was rich. Too lean will cause the same issue.

I figured if the settings are the same the using the same plug would be fine. I just wanted to run it a little longer to maybe get a better reading.
