I guess to put it in perspective, I have never been passed on the strightaway, my engine is on par with B6 pros, Lutz alpha, a couple of Bonitos and Plus-4. It keeps up with every of those engines.
I do notice that the guys who run the 9901 on their P5 seems to have a "softer" engine, I don't know if it's the sound that is softer or the performance as well. I just know I cant stay competitive If im going to be running 6:00-7:00 tanks!
Thanks for the pipe suggestion, is that nvision the same as the werks as far as performance / mileage?
BTW, this is the pipe / header Im running now: http://www.alpha-rc.com/pdt_view.asp?sn=381
thanks for all the help so far!

At the end of the day the 2058 are excellent all around tuned pipes that work great on almost every engine...out of all the pipes on the market I would say the 2058 has the widest application range, almost all engines run awesome on the pipe and its only the rare exception that only run mediocre.....If a person were to have one single tuned pipe in their pit box the 2058 would be the one to have..I really can think of no other pipe that can run that good on that many engines.....

I have a Nova P5 XLT (stock) with about 3 gallons through it, I run an Alpha pipe and header (the ones that come in the A852 combo), and an Agama A8. I have really been struggling with getting 6.5 to 7 min of runtime with this combo. Some of my buddies said they have gotten as much as 11 minutes of their P5's. Is it just the pipe and header that will make THAT MUCh of a difference?
If so, what combo would you recommend? I dont run truggy and wont be for a while, so only buggy for now. Any help is highly appreciated!

A few Q's,
Which restirctor?
Which fuel (Sidewinder was posted in a later/earlier post), the older pinkish or the newer Team Strike?
Clutch slipping at all? Could be a possible milage loss there.
Any or all of those plus anything else that had been mentioned so far could all play a part in a loss of milage.
Since I don't run a buggy any more, not sure how the power band might be, but I'd look at either a 2096 or 9901 for a pipe and then a 021 header (don't know if that header fits right in an Agama ride).
Since day one in stock trim my P5 has always got good milage. Started with a 2084/021 P&H and then went to the 2096/021 P&H and have never felt a reason to stray away from that setup. Of course I do run Truggy and it might be a little much in a buggy with the setup I run, not too sure on that.
