+1 on the 086, especially on a big track - top end to burn 
Leave the shims like that for another .5 gallon and try the O'Donnell 97T plug on the 30%. The GX and MG motors really seem to like the 97T's especially on 30%, where a medium plug is good with the higher nitro content.
The only other pipe I would look at is the GO 2072. I find I get better economy with the 086 though, and a little more bottom end response too.

086 will be fine on a huge track with no tech sections, but +1 on the odonnal plugs!!!
Have you actually tried the pipe, or are you just assuming it will be boggy because it's called a top end pipe ?If you have actually tried it and found it lacking on the 3 Port, 5 Port or MG66 - I would suggest it may have been tuning or clutch related - seriously. I'm not trying to be smart here. The 086 on any of those motors is wicked.
The 7 Port requires the 053 if you want to go away from the GO 2072 which is the recommended pipe. It's hard to beat the 2072 on the 7 Port.

Don't worry about the bottom end with the 086 on the MG66 man. I run a small tight track and a larger more sweeping track here, and on the small track with jump sections just out of the corners etc I have more grunt than I know what to do with. In fact I struggle to keep the front wheels down on a grippy track. That's with an Ascendency 4 shoe clutch running 4 x gold springs, a 7mm restrictor and .4mm shim stack on 30%. That gives me power to burn and 10 min tanks if the ambient conditions are right.
You are going to like that MG when it's done a few more tanks mate

He he he - the 086 is not boggy on the low end trust me

Once again, I'm not stirring or trying to start a war here, but a lot of people find that the JP pipes generally don't suit the GO range all that well (the older Pro Series or the newer GX Series). They tend to be a bit thirsty, and a little flat (compared to the 2072 that comes standard with the motors) - but if you find it good that's cool
I am only passing on what I have been told. I have not personally run any of the JP pipes on my GO or MG motors because of what I have heard, so I might be missing out on something, who knows ??

One thing I forgot to put in,my run times with the 086 average atleast12min. My best was 13:42 I posted awhile back. But I did up the gear to a 17 tooth to keep the buggy [808] from wheelying. Mark thought I was kidding but no. I could not get the mg to stop lifting the front. That's where I got the throttle control tips. Thanks massive!

You know that's a pipe I would like to try. I have heard really good things about it. Just trying to pry one from one of my friends losi! Hell no.And I even let them drive my 808 with the mg-66. I think I need new friends.
