You won't see a RB's real power till after a gallon so be patient. I find that they need to be a tad rich on the lsn. A good test is to make sure it loads up when idle for 20 seconds. It should create alot of smoke clearing out the engine after a 20 second idle. Once you got the bottome end tuned hsn tuning will be a breeze. You won't have to worry about retuning to much as RB's hold a tune like a vise. Go easy the 1st gallon thats one of the drawbacks to RB's is long break in. Which corresponds with there upside of long life. Hope your running a Rb pipe as JP's tend to make them run hot. Go to the RB USA website and check there forum.

Well, since my OS failed I'm going to need a new engine sooner than I thought. This RB S5 is at the top of my list as of now but need time to seriously look at the competition. So what I'd like to know is how a REX EFRA 9886 will work with this engine becuase that's what I have available. And how do I measure my header to tell if I've got what's considered a short or long one?
I understand the theory of pipes but is the one thing I've never gotten into and fully understood. Need some help. I know it won't be the BEST choice but if I can measure my header and you can tell the the pros and cons of the 9886 with an S5 I sure would appreciate it!

Vladconnery, I also have a Go 7 port and when I can get that thing to run right it freakin screams. Problem is that I have been chasing a tune with that engine. Replaced all the variables you can think of and still had issues. Long story short, I bought a S5 L2G to replace the GO and wouldn't you know it, had problems with that too.
Your probably thinking that I am the problem, well that is one of the variables I eliminated. I have 5 master tuners at the track try and tune my S5 and it wouldn't tune. I sent it back to RB and I hope to get it back this week.
My question is how will the S5 perform with the Dynamite .053 pipe. Will it work well or should I buy a RB pipe. If so, which one do you recommend?
Back to the GO, turns out that I had two issues at once which is why I couldn't figure it out. Bad RC8 tank, (duh), and bad needles in the GO.
I am just trying to avoid buying another pipe if I don't have too. Your thoughts?

I would say as long as your not running a JP pipe. You will probally be ok with the .053. I have not run this pipe before. I do know that a JP+RB= Just keep in mind that a RB pipe is going to give you the best performance. I got my RB w/ header used for $40 here.
Good Luck
