I think you have your statement backwards. The C6 (5 port) has more bottom end. The WS9 (7 port) has more top end. My friend has a WS in his truggy and he use to walk my C6 on the straight away.

Thumbs up HOLY SH*T!!!

I just ran my C6 for the first time in my new ride(XB808) what a beast! I just sold my Speed and picked up a C6 and a S7. The power of the C6/JP2 is rediculous-almost too much for a buggy. It literally pulled wheelies down hill or when I hit a slight bump with the front. My speed never did that. Plus my mileage was incredible! My goal was to break the 10min mark-never hit that with the speed(6mm). Well it just kept on going and just broke 13 min(7mm) when it died! I would feel very comfortable pitting 11min now. Just 2 pits for me in the main. I have not tried the S7 LGII yet I am hoping for something allittle more linear-Speed like. The C6 may going on Ebay-just too much power. It is probally a ideal truggy engine. May try to tame the bottom with some different pipe combos. Didnt have time to experiment much with all the little new chassis/engine problems. I have JP2-JP4- GRP-novarossi 2050 too chose from right now. Has anyone tried these combos? I know the 2045/198-192 is spoken of highly.

I've tried them both. Tne new ws9 has too much snap on the bottom end=undriveable. B9 seems smoother with more top end speed.

I have bought two used BBT7 C6's in the past. I paid $150 for one and $175 for the other. Both had less then two gallons on them.

Well then, I guess if someone is looking for one, I have one I got a couple gallons through one and the front bearing started leaking, so I bought another one still in the buggy, and put a TKO ceramic front bearing in the other one that was leaking and raced it one day in a borrowed truggy to make sure it ran good and put it away for a spare. So if I ask like $165 plus freight, that would be a fair price for that spare engine??

I have heard the JP 4 pipe works well with most engines, I have not used one, I will either use a 9886 Nova Rossi pipe, or the 2045/192. In my expierence the JP 1,2,3's, engines ran hotter, and got less run time, mostly stay with the 2045/192, for big tracks, the 198 header just has way to much bottom, good for short track.

Try it.
10 + runtime when on the same track the OS gets 9min.
This is true. I have a friend who is running my WS7 with Sirio 2013 with 8mm and he's able to run about 10-10 1/2 minute runtime with great power from bottom to top.

Do you guys know that K9 is made in Taiwan not Italy. My friend bought his K9 and returned it b/c it wasn't made in Italy.
