Oh, did I mention the 2 day warranty? ;) LOL!!

I'm not worried. It's shimmed for 60% right? Ha ha ha ha ha.

Thayer you looking for a Dynamite 086 hardcoated pipe? If so let me know I have one that I am going to sell. Let you have it for $25. I am going to the River Track this weekend (haha) and plan on trying to sell it there if you don't want it.

If it's the pipe and header, done deal. Can't make The River this weekend. Bummed, but I picked up a couple of lessons Sat for a pro that's a friend of mine and I have Jr. team tennis to coach later in the day. I'll shoot you a PM. This Extech is trick, maybe I'll let you run a lap with it, LOL.

NO NO NO NO!! You have to find a Top Fuel team and get some 90% from them. It screams like that ;)

Wow, finally got to put the Race Prepped Extech I got from Colin into my 8ight. Even at 85% or so of race tune it rips. Thanks Colin, can't wait to hit the track with it.

The needles will get twisted, don't you worry about that. Didn't want it running any faster in the street. I don't have any tuning tires and I didn't want to leave a brand new set of CF's all over the pavement.

thanks for the pipe info,
Went out and did some testing and found the 053 and 086 pipes I have will work for now. I did like the pipe Chad mentioned, though one of the most odd looking ones I have seen. Then again if it works, it works. Might have to look at getting that one. The 053 in the truggy today faired pretty well, running pretty hard all tank and came in at 11:35 on the tank with a flame out temp at 220. Now all I have to do is wait for next March for the Silver State race.

Ouch...

Did you hit it hard in the past? A couple of hard lid landings coulda cracked things beforehand. Vibration,and finaly your landing off that last double would have finished it off.

doesn't look like there's a lot of meat there in the center to hold things together. I second the warrantee claim thought...

Call Trinity and ask to talk to Chad and he will take care of you!

I bought the ExTech .21 pre-run today and the 2056 (baseball bat) pipe for my MBX6. Anybody try this pipe other than Chad yet.

Chad Phillips 11-06-2008 08:08 AM

Colby Poh has tried the 2056 at rev.. it has the same feel as a 2053 but more topend and more runtime. The powerband is very broad with the 2056.
