one question on the tune though it seems great high speed and good smoke and low end is also great however mid range it isnt making the power it does at very bottom and very top its not to lean or rich on the top or bottom it doesnt hesitate or bog or anything like that it just drops power slightly should i play with the mid range needle its still factory as i have not touched this one any advice will be great

Thanks Ben
thats not really a "midrange" needle it is more than likely the pipe which you cant do anything about being that you are in europe


try a 7.5 and see if it helps any


thank you ben ,

Hi Monty
I just purchase the plus 4 and was going to do the heat cycle breakin, I was wanting to know once I get the motor preheated to 180 and the motor temp declines during the initial run in do I lean out the HSN and LSN a little at a time until I can get it stay around the 190-200 degrees? My next question is I plan on using the oddonnel plugs and run the byrons 30% Pro fuel and was curious on what plugs to use on the standard or turbo. I will be running JP4 for the time being.

I wrap the head w/ alum foil and hit it with a heat gun when it falls below 200 during the heat cycle.

on the n21bf button head, which way does the engraved arrow need to point towards? I took mine appart and now I'm unsure which way it was pointing originally.

it doesn't really make a difference speedy but the arrow usually faces the exhaust

Monty;

I have the ToroNero turbo and a 9853 w/41005(short) on it. This really launches my X2 compared to what i was using before.

I am looking to get another pipe. Question is... what should i expect from a 9901 and 9886?

Thanks!

Houston will get the hookup on his website as long as he keeps a brutha running.

Currently its just the basic design, but we will be working on some feature and more

Surprise - I am having a new banner for the site designed and some other goodies from my homie Tres Leonard - www.tnt-fx.com - that did all my stuff for www.axiommotors.com
