Good power, only loses a couple of meters on the pit straight. Smooth power delivery. With a 6.5mm venturi I've done 8.5mins

I run around 220-240F.

I try to make sure the engine is up to temp before it goes out on track.

I swear the topic said 21-5 this morning !

A few people I race with use the 21-4 and can get 10mins, some can't get it consistently (you really need to be 10.30 or more to be safe) so have gone with the OS
