the B5 will push your truggy along with no problems at all.

Great power and funky note with the 2013 pipe.

The two main features are increased wall thickness (thicker material) and a re-enforced stinger. These two features will greatly improve the durability of the pipe.

Just so you guys know, If you want to run a pipe that is real close to the 2013 run the 2035, it is a a little quicker on the bottom,kicks butt in the mid, and has a pretty decent top. half the price of a 2013 and is a little stonger. Also excellent run times.

I will be using a 2053 pipe till I get the new ones come of backorder. What should I expect?

Funny you say that bc a couple of weeks ago I changed from an RE11 to a TT 2035 I had sitting in a bag and your right it's a different engine. I was keeping up with an OS Speed down the straight :nod:

Does anyone know the part number for the high speed needle? Or where to find one quickly?

B5
 
I am going to ask santa clause for a new truggy engine and have read great reviews in this thread about the B5. From what I have read the engine gets great run time, works best on 2013 pipe or 2057 and is reliable. My question is when is bearing or rod replacement required (3gal, 5 gal. ?) and do these engines have enough power to take inside lines and still clear tripples. I do like a smooth powerband with good bottom, but often smoothness comes from lack of power. I am sure this is a good engine and price is great but I am undecided between the B5 and the nova 21-7fms. Any comments apreciated.

Started breaking mine in last night, hoping to get my new MP9 to the track today. So it decides to snow in Houston:lol:

You will be very pleased with the power out of a corner, the B5 is a beast. It is also a quality Italian engine so I would not be concerned with bearing or rod replacement for a very long time.
