I think the better way to decide is to see if your clutch suffer a great deal of slippy problem, mine did. If that happen, than Centax is the only solic solution, in my opinion.

Beside, now a day engines...pulling 1.6+HP is nothing unusual, I still remember my first engine was Nova Mega Sx12 Side exhaust pulling the Centax 1 clutch from Serpent on my Impulse.......1.1HP engine can pull the centax, I don't see why a 1.6+ HP engine cannot.....
P.S....Ttso...not to mention, you guys are running Nova MAX oversea....those are the ground rocket launcher.....LOL

Re: Werks pipe tested today

Today is a sunny day (typhoon just passed yesterday) and I finally got chance to test Werks pipe (with my Picco .12 XP 5ports).
Compare with mod AE pipe (manifold -11mm), the Werks pipe has similar topend (top speed about the same, maybe a very little bit faster). However, the bottom is much smooth and liner than my mod AE pipe. The car is now less punch and probably the reaction speed is a bit slower, but I like the smooth bottom rather than hard to control rocket. I don't consider the bottom is "weak", but "more liner".
Best part: I got ZERO flameout today (25% fuel), which is impossible with AE pipe, mod or stock. And engine performance is very consistence. I did no re-tune on engine in 4hrs testing, which also impossible with AE pipe, mod or stock.
Overall, I think the pipe probably will has a better performance on more powerful engine (Picco .12 XP 5ports is very stock, compare with those JP/Max/Mega monster). And I will stick with it since I had enough with unpredictable AE pipe (and hell, it looks GOOD ).

I do have a Sirio EVO 15 small block 7 ports to try.....but the engine has some issue and does not perform as we expected, then we have to return the pipe to the mfr.

My next engine most likely will be PiccoMega ZX12 Outlaw or Sirio new 5ports (all our races are outlaw class, with weight limit 1700g...). Hopefully those advanced engine will unlock the power of Werks pipe.

That is the engine that BLEE and I both ordered.........

Spend the second half on a set of Factory Team adjustable shocks, so you can adjust the car's handling to match your track.

I just bought one at Ultimate and 5 out of 5 packages were missing the clutch shoe. Unforturnately, I will have to resort to the stock 2 or 3 shoe clutch. Hopefully, I can remedy the slippage issue. Maybe after this weekend, I can get a hold of a complete
Yokomo clutch but, with TFT in 3 days and no days off until Friday,
the stock clutch will have to do.
Moto at Ultimate tried to contact Yokomo on Monday 12/6
and received the voice mail stating "mail box full". A little disconcerning to say the least but, I deal with it next week.
