Question: is it truly a stability issue due to the CG being too high, or could it be just that the CG is slightly off the centerline to starboard?

On another note, I'm guessing you'll be installing a larger diameter exhaust line next to eliminate the back pressure you seem to be experiencing. Perhaps also tightening the cylinder pivot a bit as well, to allow for higher pressure operation?
