I usually use a 1-piece "karting" pipe like the TP06 tuned pipe set (#2170).

While I hate to pass the buck, I would recommend contact someone at Serpent (Julius Kolff maybe) to find out the characteristics of this pipe.

I'd have to disagree with you guys on that Nitro doesn't make more power. I build drag race engines for a living and I have customers that run methanol and Nitro methane. Put it this way, guys running methanol only, with better superchargers, more boost and better cylinder heads make about 3000-3500 Horespower. Guys running Nitro about 90%, with less boost are making about 8000 HORESPOWER!!!!
There is alot of power to be had with Nitro. The extra power that comes from Nitro is because it is actually quite explosive.
Nitro actual explodes in the combustion chamber. On the engines that are running Nitro in Drag Racing, it is so explosive and there is soo much cylinder pressure that after every pass all the bearings in the engine have been completely pounded flat! Now thats power! Just my two cents.

I need more power! I just need a few hundred horses only, not a few thousand.

On my S835 I use the #2690 pipeset.

The tracks in my country are on the sliperry side and I am having a heck of a hard time trying to get rid of on-power understeer from my 710. I use ball diffs front and back. I have tried lower shore foams in front to no avail.

After the first 40 min run I serviced my 710. I put all together (radio tray, motor, clutch and gear) but now the clutch slips
It was working perfectly!
I checked 5 times the clutch gap and the end play as in the manual. I loose the clutch spring more than one turn but the problem is still there.
I am not able to understand if I made a mistake or the clutch shoe is burn out...

Anyway, did you mod the Centax flyweights? The correct way to check the clutch gap is to take off all the bearings at the back of the clutch bell and mount the clutch bell with the thrust bearing. Then measure as per the manual.
If your clutch still slips, keep adding shims (0.1 mm at a time) to the front near the thrust bearing to make the clutch gap closer and test it out.

What do you guys use to clean your engine? I was told to use cleaning alchohol.

Which fuel would you recommend using, Tornado or Byron? Im currently using Tornado 25%. They should both be about the same correct? These are the only 2 type of fuels my lhs carries.
