IMO the Extech is remarkably easy to tune for an engine that makes so much power. The only tuning issues I've had have been air leaks, and once those were fixed it was fine. I like mine just a hair rich on bottom, it gets such god mileage and makes so much power you won't notice. I have one of the original EB Mods and it has 5 gallons through, crank and rod still look good.

Dishshoap, 2013 pipe is great for tracks where you need to get out of corners in a hurry, Dynamite 086 is good everywhere else. If you've been running with the brakes dragging I suggest you take a look at your clutch shoes and bell.

The 2013 pipe is a werks racing brand right? If so its double the price of the dynamite. The dynamite 086 seems to work with any engine.

What about any of the JP pipes with the extech .21

Trinity has a 2013, it is the same as the werks pipe.
The dynamite 053 works well with the .21 also.

The 2013 I have is a Sirio pipe.

Well if Chad is back working FINALLY, I would like to get my crankshafts as promised back at the end of April. I have sent plenty of emails...but the last few have gone without any responses.

I am sure he is playing catch-up! AS you may recall they closed shop end of April and have been moving. I feel confident he will do what he said. Patience my friend. I am waiting on a few items myself.

Best Regards,

Hey guys I just bought a used great condition Extech .21 from a buddy and I wanted to start fresh with the tune and wanted to find out what the factory needle setting is? I already PM Chad but no response yet from him, so thought I would ask here for the help. Thanks in advance.

Sounds like your idle is set to low and as a result you are having to lean the bottom end to compensate.
