just order the discovery motor was curious does it come with the restrictors 6mm 7mm 8mm? is this motor pretty crazy on bottom end power? or is it kinda like the 3port model where its pretty good bottom and very smooth transitions through out the power band? And what kind of run time people seeing with 2058 pipe or 2013s? Ive been running p5xlt houston tuned hoping to goto something with a little less bottom end!

Bottom end was still crazy sluggish so I can't even compare it to anything. Motor has right about a gallon on it so I am just now putting a full race tune on it. But I ran against one (same motor same car) and his bottom end was super crisp and poppy way snappier than an OS

Bottom end when tuned correctly is very snappy. Not super powerful but it will light the tires on command if that is what you want it to do. Or blip the throttle a tad and it'll transition to mid/high nice and quick.. It doesn't have the bottom end of the CRF 3-ports, but it has plenty, IMO..

yeah im not really trying to find a motor with a crap ton of bottom! I bought one of the standard head button orion 3 ports and that thing lasted me 6 gallons and it was only 155.00 new loved it very smooth predictable motor.. And easy to tune after putting the CRF carb on.

Best way to know for sure is set .5-.7mm idle gap, tune the low end for good idle.. Take out on track tune the top end for speed and good smoke, bring in and reset/recheck idle. If you have to lean the top much you will probably have to richen the bottom an hour or two..
