Casey,

Your Plus-4's looked great this weekend. More than enough power all around. This looks like it might be my next engine.

measure the diameter (bore) of the button and the depth of the button with no shims and i can tell you which one will work for sure , if i had one of the plus4's in my 7,000$ worth of engines in my engine box i could measure it but i need to sell some product before i buy more

Does anyone know if the turbo head from an RBC6BBT7 will fit on this plus 4?

Thanks

Update,
Finaly ran the engine Sunday, and all I can say is wow!
Best 300 bucks i've ever spent!
I used the 9901 pipe with the short square header and i can confirm to you that this is Novarossi's best off road engine period.
I was able to run back to back with my O.S speed which was installed in my 8 2.0 while i had the plus 4 on my 8 1.0 up untill this week end I always considered the O.S v-spec to be the Best Off road engine in existence (to bad they don't last very long), and the Plus 4 is very similar to it(except that it will go well pass 5 gallons before leaking everywhere), it launches with authority while still remaining controlable it nearly feels like the car has traction control or something, there doesn't seem to be any spikes in the powerband and even though it was slightly rich i had no problems keeping up with the other drivers or clearing any of the obstacles on the track.
Excellent engine not to mention the price is nice
didn't bother looking at the run times but i'm pretty sure i was going past the 10 minute mark with the 6.5mm restrictor.
A++ for the plus 4

Here is a Plus 4 in action. Billy Fischer is running this at SRS and if you notice, he is the only one making the tripple on the right side. This motor has punch and a screaming top end. I even heard that having this motor is cheating. I can't wait to break mine in and start cheating.

Billy is a Novarossi factory driver so I am sure he is using the nova pipe. You can PM Casey P. he has a post about 5 or 6 up from this one, he is also a Nova factory driver. Both Billy and Casey are way cool and will answer your PM. And like Tom said the Nova was real inpressive, I know factory Jammin driver Luke Jonas was running one and was in second in that video until his car broke.
