Both less than a gallon. Then my awesome 3 port Novarossi 21BF broke the con rod bushing into pieces after about 5 gallons. And apparently this is to be expected from that 3 port. All that and I'm much improved from last year, so it's time for the next step up. I think the 3 port might be holding me back slightly. I'll find out though. The 21BF is getting refreshed for a backup, so the 5 port can be the big race engine. If the Plus21 is too much I can always let off the trigger. LOL.
I hear ya man! Well if money was no object, then I would recommend the C6.. $339 on amain for the turbo version, motor only... Mated to an RB 2045 pipe is absolutely SINFULL (powermad).. . Why do ya think I bought one..... But seriously you cant go wrong with a P5, cool has a few in his bag of tricks... Also any of the JP motors are excellent!
