engine being preheated around 200? with the colder temps that would be helpfull if the engine is still "newer" and I see alot of coldblooded novas/rbs...

Usually low fuel pressure , clogged high end needle

what would be the proper way to check/clean the high end needle and besides a leak what could cause low fuel pressure the truck is brand new and tank seals perfect, new or different fuel line maybe

I was not preheating the engine i can admit that. could that have been all it was? because like i said once running nothing on the track could touch this engine

Pre-Heating a motor...even a well broken in one will benefit...you can go hammer on it a lot sooner then the guy next to you who has to go from bone cold to running temp while your already 1/2 way there if not more. :nod:

you should definitely preheat the engine in colder weather , especially if engine still has pinch .

so you like the engine then ? ;)

Any word on the plus 4c's yet Monty?:)

They will be at novarossiusa tomorrow . 335$ for plus4 C. If you guys want one

295$ for standard plus 4

oo how tempting... but 3 engines for 1 car... hmmm...

Two available at the moment , more on request .

295$ is a good deal for standard plus4
335$ is a good deal for plus4 C

Btw how are the engines running michael ?

the tuned 3 port is running wonderfully. that engine is really awesome for the price. it's right around 2 gallons now and i couldn't be happier with its performance. i put in a race tune on it this past weekend for the first time and i ended up winning the race. will be sending it to you soon for a check up and some of that added shimming for more fuel economy and smoother response.

the 5 port i haven't used in the last couple of weeks since i haven't been able to replace that o-ring yet. still haven't received it in the mail :(. hopefully it gets here this week so i can use it to race this weekend. but yea, the power on the thing is awesome. that crank that you put in made a noticeable difference. something happens in the midrange on that engine where it just suddenly starts pullinnngg craazy. :D

Hi

Will adding shims make a better mileage?

Cheers

umm.. from what i've seen monty say before, adding a lil more than what i have there now would make just a bit more mileage and give the engine smoother response. this is for the n21bf though and i don't know if it applies to other engines.
