Every grp I have ever had is cold blodded. I would have to warm it up on the box for 3-5 min before each race to get the tune to level out. Never never tune a grp cold. It will lean out when it warms up.

I hear ya Frank on them leaning out when they warm up, but mine was running like 200-210 this weekend and it was still tough for me to get the big finish line jump at RF. I had to take the turn wide before it to clear it. Seemed rich on the low end......Gonna have to mess with it this week. Great day of racing though

Every motor needs to be warmed up first. buy a heat gun and warm up the engine prior to every heat. Doesnt take as long to get it up and ready for tune prior to the heats.

I like the Odonnell plugs in both the tuned and non tuned.
