It's a great deal. New the RBM3 is 479.

Finally something worked out for me LOL. Is it the 2012 version? I looked and still doesn't have the same head as the one on the site.

Want to give a big thanks to Uriah Murnan for a great engine and getting the tune right for me, it was still breaking in and giving me a fit. Hes a great guy, and great support tuned it for 3 qualifiers for me at the Byrons race, Badass motor in my Cobra GT!

Pete, I fully agree, I've used his engines for 5+ years and the have always great power and service. What engine did you run at the Byrons?

I've got his .25, do you have the .21 or .25? .25 works great on shorter tracks or a lot of infield. 35+21 for faster tracks and a 3 port for club racing. All are good.

Temps around 300 are common when getting the most out of the engine. You can also add a head shim. A total of .40mm of shims will help top end. The short 41615 manifold will also increase top end.

That's good. Try the short header, and lean the engine until you get the top speed. It's there.

Ran my new RB M3 .12 yesterday at Floyd Bennett in my new 2012 NT1. All I can say is WHOA it was fast, I had some issues in all 3 qualifiers with little things breaking and screws backing out like new cars usually do. Still managed to win the B and bump to the A, it's my first time in the A main since I started last summer. My car was definitely in the top 5 fastest over all speed wise and the 1st fastest if I'm not mistaking was a RB also. Murman motors for me from now on.
The only thing is I needed a little more down low but it was there and top speed was more than enough, think I'm geared a little off. Any suggestions on gearing?
