its not too bad , i can improve them a little :D

throw a good crank in them and they are comparable to many high end engines . ;)

at the price they go for they are worth every penny for sure :nod:

Yes he can and does great work. Montys engines run super smooth. By the way Monty the plus4c is really coming alive. I need to get more fuel though the filled crank plus4c with Alabama coming up in alittle over a month.

Steebo 04-18-2010 05:45 PM

Thank you Monty for all the work you put into my P5XL!

This motor is perfect! Amazing useable power and plenty of it. Runs like a champ and the customer service is top notch!

I cant wait to hear about the clutch shoes.

How is the milage on the P5XLT is 10 min doable if not can a Monty Houston tune on it make it doable. What is the best pipe for this motor?

I have seen them go 10 min yes , especially in a truck

I am thinking about this combo for an easy 10 min as long as you're smooth on the throttle .
P5xlt , 2084ss/41021 , 6.5mm restrictor , odo97t or 77t
