I'm running a 60 air correction jet but I agree, it might be a bit lean. My exhaust is stock so it should be restrictive enough to keep things in order but I might go up to 80 if it looks like it needs it. I have a CHT gauge installed but not fully connected because I'm not keen on the spark plug head connection. When I have that sorted I'll try leaning out the mixture at the top end and see if the temps go up significantly.

Air correction works in reverse to all the other jets as it increases the air portion of the mixture. Therefore an 80 correction is leaner than a 60.
