GRP 2053

Hi out of those 3 I would start off with the 2035 as it works pretty well with our engines. The others I would test when you have some free time to see what your thoughts are.

2035 works good on the motor, but nothing like the 2013

Can anyone give me some input on using a Jammin JP-1 pipe with my B5? I can't tell if I'm giving myself an advantage or disadvantage using this pipe. Any ideas?

Thanks Ron. By the way I pitted for kortz at the Nitrohouse race and was very impressed with the new b6 and fuel. I have been out of nitro since 09 and getting back. Werks motors and fuel are the way I am going !!!

Werks fuel in Texas
 
Where can I get it?

Thanks!

Most likely a disadvantage. Jammin pipes are known to restrict power and mileage exceptionally well.

Ran my b5 all day at track today. No problems. Honestly what else could you want in a .21?

xlrsd 09-25-2011 05:52 PM

Thanks for the input, man. I just have to disagree with you on the mileage aspect. I am running 12 mins a tank, and I'm still slightly rich because I'm not all the way broken in. I guess what I was looking for, was more or less how I am effecting my power output. My mileage is easy, it's giving me what it gives me, so I know what that is, and I am more than happy with that. But the thing I WON'T know, is how I am increasing, or hindering the max performance of a B5 using a JP-1, because I have never run one before, and never heard much of anyone running the same combo I am.

The JP-1 is a bottom-end pipe, the B5 is a bottom end motor- seems like a match to me.

If you're happy with the mileage (At 12 mins, who wouldn't be!), then don't worry about what others say:cool:

blktransam 09-25-2011 06:52 PM

can not believe a jp1 getting 12 mins running "rich" must also be running "slow" :lol:...but nif u r happy then so be it call it good :nod:

xlrsd 09-25-2011 07:01 PM

You're absolutely right, Josh. Thanks for the eye opener! Lol. I don't think I could be happier with the combo. Appreciate it, man.

Why so hard to believe? Saying I can't tune an engine? Remember, run time is also driver and track dependent.
