Quick question. I've been breaking in my new +4C. I've put about 13-15 heat cycles on it using "the break-in bible" method. Then put 2 more heat cycles @ a tank each. Ran it fairly hard the last 2 tanks. It still has tons of pinch. Think it's ok to start track tuning it for the rest of the break-in?

am not Monty but just my 2 cents, after what you have done already, i would track tune it and keep the temp around 220-230 and run it untill it richens by itself, just monitor the temp frequently not to run on the lean side and dont let it go out of fuel.

cheers
Ali

TRY the 41021 header or dynamite 086hs pipeset

Ran a 9901ss/41005 header this week in the buggy and it worked pretty well

Got to visit for an hour with bernard durand and hope to keep the lines of communication open there

We both understood each other very well , he was very interested in my ideas and opinions
.

I found out what the nitrotec engine is , if you have an n21r and you put a 15009 crankshaft in it out of the p5xl and you put a head from a plus4 you got yourself a nitrotec !

Sittin at the airport now waitin for the plane , kinda bored


Btw , that engine should riippppp with the right pipe Wes .

I made it the same as the ones I made for Ali in kuwait , he is very impressed with it and I hope it lasts him a long time .

Has anybody heard of some guy who calls himself mojo mods ? If you have , get a hold of me .

Happy motorin',
Monty

Hey Monty

Both motors ripped this past weekend, couldn't be happier. Want to make the switch to Byrons though, what do you suggest?

Thanks

Jon
