Thank you! That's exactly what I was looking for!

What clutch shoes are people running on their P5's? My car came with 2 aluminum and 2 carbon...

Just curious what others are running and what the differences are.

Alright Ill make them all equal to test. I believe there's only 2 possible culprits here (well technically 3- myself included :lol:) either the clutch or pipe. Im sick of driving around the track and having the bottom end load up while Im blipping the throttle, its like im not powering thru enough fuel in the in field. Then I get to a straight and the performance sux and is rich by that point. Its either clutch or pipe or both. Maybe Ill go back to the 9886. Ill test the equal shoe setting first. What other pipes work great on highly timed mills?

9853/41005 ....:)

What kind of car/ clutch?

If you are talking about a Losi, which is what I am running...
I have 2 set-ups. One for a loose to medium bite track that is 2 aluminum with gold springs and 2 carbon with green springs.
If the traction comes up from medium to a high traction track I go all aluminum with 2 green and 2 gold shoes. If it feels a little sluggish or I need more snap, I will run all gold springs.

But I mainly stay with the all aluminum, 2 gold/ 2 green set-up.

Load up sure is tuning issue, lean that lsn, is not the pipe

For sure it seems to be a tuning issue but the problem is if I lean any more then where its at right now it gets too lean at the bottom half of tank as I explained in a prior post so its not as easy as it sounds to fix. I guess Ill lean her a bit more and richen the HSN- the only thing I can think of to do at this point. I dont think its the pipe either I believe its more the tune for this issue, the other issue is the clutch and possibly pipe- i have to figure it out still.

Why havent you suggested this earlier!? Killin me Neal!

I have told you a 100 times you should get on the phone with me so I can go over setups and tuning...however you have to date ignored my requests and persisted on asking all your questions here on the forums instead....As I told you before there is too much information for me to type it all out and that until you take the time for a phone call my help/advice will be limited.

Basically your engine is a Nova P5 XLT with a MES exhaust...there are no other differences between it and a P5 except the over sized exhaust.. So therefore I am guessing the same pipe/header that works on the P5 will also work on that JP..That engine should perform like a P5 except it will have noticeably less bottom and a little more on top end....

How are Novas newest motors doing on the track? Getting back in the hobby and trying to decide which motor to get. Want something thas smooth from bottom to top. Not a torque monster. Last nova motor I had was the team plus 4. Any insight is greatly appreciated.

I hear ya, thing is if you remember I told you I dont have phone service. Its got a rear hard coated, balanced and filled crank, a precisely hand matched p/s as well as being tuned (get wat ya pay for). Its surely beyond an XLT. It would eat an XLT for breakfast. Just wish it was a little more aggressive down low- if it was it would be unbeatable. By the way I tried the 41001 today with equal tension and I definitely liked it. Only dam thing is the narrow header runs the pipe against the fuel tank burning into the tank so looks like no 41001.... :rolleyes: Have you tried the 41020? Id love to try the 41031 but its narrow so i'm afraid it would align the pipe against the tank too- ridiculous if you ask me that they cant make sure their headers all fit most cars and align the pipe far enough away from the fuel tank.... rant over. Anyway, that would be next on the list ;)

I ordered 75 of c5tgn ,i have them here

I'd take one too... don't see them on your site yet though

Can you not achieve that with clutch tuning, 1.1 springs or something?
