BTW when you get around the 5 gallon mark the engine will really wake up. I think I have 10 gallons on mine, its all original and going strong.

I have one forsale if anyone is looking for one.. 1 gallon of Trinity 30% with more oil for breakin gallon, then 1 gallon of Byrons 2nd Gen 30% threw it. Re-pinched and timing shimmed for smoother bottom end power.

Why would you Pinch an engine that only has TWO gallons on it? I thought that was for engines that had lost compression?

I figured it was, but If I cant get the reedy pipe why not have something Shiny!!!... I'll probably end up getting the associated pipe. I have a 2050 o.s. and a jp3 I can use, which one would be better to use till I get the right pipe?

The black ones are nice because it cleans extremely easy with just a rag. The chrome ones you have to cook in antifreeze.

When you cook your chrome pipes/headers in a crock pot full of antifreeze they come out looking like new again. I normally cook them over night in the garage or here at the shop.

2050 or 2060 will work great, any JP pipe will kill your mileage.

I will second Joey on the 2050 pipe. Worked great with my engine. I only switch because I prefer to run pipes made for the particular engine. So I picked up the Black Non-stick 2035. I think it actually made the engine more lively then the 2050. Runs slightly cooler too. Clean up is a breeze.
