Will I notice a difference in power or runtime and the reason I ask is money kind of tight but I will get it if it's worth the investment. I haven't had any real issues with BTTA and RE10 runs great and no DNF or flames in a long time so I am unable to decide to buy 9901 or not. Thanks!

not gonna tell ya to go broke gettin something you want but the 9901/41021 is a great combo on the plus 4 and pretty darn sure you will like the way it feels and the mileage you will get with the proper tune on it :nod:


btw , 90$ is a VERY good deal

Currently breaking in two BTT's. Quite a ways to go yet. Both with 021 header. One on 9901ss and one on 9853ss. Would like to hear people's opinions about the power these engines make. Awesome or super awesome? LOL.

Remember, that the JP3 pipe doesn't give any Novarossi engine a good mileage.

Been reading most of these pages and I'm having some what of the same problem.

New 2012 (black case) P5xlt has about a 3/4 gallong through so far.

I've been trying to lean out the low end and reducing the idle gap as I go.

I have the idle gap almost completely closed. It is about at a .4 for gap setting.

I'm afraid it will stall eventually so when is the gap to small ?

It will not hold a HIGH idle unless I raise the idle gap !
