Rebuilt FMS fired right off and purrs like a kitten. Bet it sounds as good when the growl gets released after a little running. Thanks Monty, I will make sure it's ready before he turns it loose on the track.

Ray is a great guy and best at his craft.

Awesome attention to detail

Living with in 1-2 hours from him isn't bad either.

I recommend 1000cc of fuel with an 11%-16% oil contect

My full recommendation is to take a tank or two running on ground with body on , get engine to run to be just slightly rich on botttom and pretty rich on top but not so much it bogs the engine so it wont take off , keep temps between 190-210F

Then on track but be kinda nice to it, keep temps close to above mentioned temps and do not squeeze.trigger too long and no mercy revs

Start leaning hsn slowly after approx 1000cc ish of on track easy running

If you're asking about the X3-Race, it simply has the premium R7 conrod and turbo combustion chamber added. Whereas earlier production X3's had the standard plug and E1 rod. All current production pieces will continue to be produced with the R7/turbo because they're just that little bit better

Durability and performance are both increased, but no modifications are performed.
