If you want more bottom then a 2084 or 053 pipe will be better. I have the Hotmods version and coming from a vspec the bottom is soft. But it just screams on top, and I was running a OS 2050. I have 086 coming and I may borrow a friend 053 to test.
Monty - thanks for stepping in.
Yes my friends is as bone stock as can be. We know what makes a fantastic mill is the fit between parts, so he might have been just fantastically lucky, but still
Ok - one more vote for shimming then... I'll pull it apart and check how much it has.
I'll have a look at this closely. You do confirm the 086hs is the hot pipe for this engine, right? (which would be great as I really really like the fit and finish of this thing... I got the hard anodized version, amazing they sell the whole thing for less than $60!!!).
thanks

I have seen great consistancy out of those 3 ports so I am a little perplexed on your dilemma of feeling there is no power . Reduce shimming to .7mm for your 25% fuel , run a medium hot plug such as odonnell 100 or 77 and use that 086hs with 8mm and temps around 250 and it should be pretty darn good .
Keep me posted

I just finished breaking in and racing a toro team, one race, haven't had it that long yet, but it is shimmed at .80 for 30% nitro from the factory.
I took out the brass .20 shim, and replaced it with a .10 copper shim giving it .70 for break in and running with 25%....Seems to be pretty happy......

Hey Monty,thanks for a great engine and excellent customer service,going the EXTRA mile for your customers.the FMS now has little more than 3/4 gal of fuel thru it, I still feel a little pinch @ TDC when cold, I'm gonna try to go the track monday to get a good feel for what it's capable... not that can't tell already
Thanks,Robert.

My mill indeed has 0.8mm, I took it down to 0.7mm, which happens to be what my buddy has on his as he confirmed it on the phone yesterday (thanks buddy!). I'll try this with the stock nova #6, then switch to odo100 to see what kind of change there is. Re temps, my second-hand exergen is still in the mail as the seller inadequately forgot to send it

Will keep you all posted

Thanks,
Pauk

That engine in your rig will get you a lot of "what engine is that ? That's the fastest engine I have ever seen!" Guaranteed
I know chris odonnells mods were for all out power so it might be a bit of an engine to handle

Bearing size is 14x25.4x6mm and standard 7x19x6mm front

Hey Monty,
I reshimmed my Toro Nero this weekend from the .8 to .7, I also changed my clutch springs to 1.1 from the stock 1.0 (MBX-6 kit) and changed the header to the 41030. It was INSANE when I pulled the trigger of my M11X as I watched the buggy throw clay at every stab of the throttle, I wasn't even able to get tghe power down to make the main jump at the drivers stand LOL. I ended up putting back the 41029 manifold (short) and with a slight richening of the bottom end it was perfect mix of bottom end power and insane top end.
I love this engine!!!!!
