thanks buddy for the input, i ran the HES P5XLT on my truggy with 2096 pipe and its freaking awesome!!! power, response and run time is all i need

been reading alot about the stock roma but i aint liking the run time!! all say its around 7-8 minutes on truggy!!!! thats not what i want at all.

tell us what you think about the Roma after the weekend and compare it to the X7!!!

have you ran the Monty's P5XLT on truggy?? if you get a chance, try it and you will love it

cheers

does the X7 have a similar low-end response as the P5? I've becomes less happy with the Toro i have, and even though its modded and makes a bit more torque than the stock one, its just not quite what i need on my home track which has a lot of natural elevations changes(built on a hillside) so lots of up hill runs, short run ups to jumps, etc. Dont get me wrong, this thing runs killer, very reliable and is good on dry tracks, but this place has so much grip that it just struggles a little bit in spots

9853 vs 2084, thoughts? also 9853 vs 9901 what differences do you notice and/or what conditions do you prefer one pipe over another?

I stopped usin the 2084 , the more i used it the more restrictive i found it , not so noticeable on smaller tracks but def noticeable on the large tracks

I use 2096, 9853 , 9901 pretty much all the time now

X7 loves all three with 41021
Most torque - 9853ss
Best power balance -9901ss
Great power delivery and mucho top with great runtimes - 2096ss

Ran the Roma this weekend.. and i have to say... its to powerful for me to drive... although i did pretty good with it, i had to focus to much on not spinning the tires with teh finger... and not the greatest on fuel...

prefer the X7 for smoothness and runtimes... but for that 5 minute qual where you want to make the short run up triple or quad for a good spot on the grid... its nice to have.. then swap to the X7 for the main and get a clean start and bring it home...
