Kind of a loaded question..... There are tons of things that play into run time. Ambient temp, humidity, fuel and nitro content, elevation, track conditions, drive train efficiency, clutch, carb inset, traction available with the correct tires installed on the car, pipe and header, and mostly how you drive it....
A fully broken in motor properly tuned for the weather and location, with the correct pipe and clutch on a car with the correct set-up, driven smoothly ( like most pro drivers) should make around 10 minutes. The same set-up with a normal person, will probably be around 8 1/2-9 minutes. All things being equal, minus the driver that is..
It would be safe to say 8-9 minutes.

I'm coming from running a novarossi bonito 7 port and liked the power tho this time around I may wish to try to limit parameters for a 10 min fuel stops for finals tho still have power if need be for different scenarios looking for a versatile engine idealy would be the power of the 7 port tho being able to restrict or carb limit it for a 10 min fuel stop if need be

would you say the same or similar could be achieved with the mito 7.

Which of the 4 ports is the "best or the bunch"? I have the plus 4, plus 4 c team and the btta. I don't have the legend or the mito... Anyone have these two that has had the ones I have and has compared them?

I've used all of the ones you listed except for the legend branded 4 port. Currently, I really like the mito, but I've only run 4 gallons through it. Most my Novas got 9 to 12 gallons before they detonated, and I hope the mito last a while as well, but I have heard of stories of the mito not lasting as long as other engines. So time will tell, but so far so good.

Really loving the Mito 4 at the moment. It has ample bottom and top end, I can get 10 minutes running a 2096/41021 and 7mm Venturi, I've run it at 3 different big events around Australia and tuning is always easy. Loves the new c5tgn plugs.

Manifold advice
Hello I have a Mito 7 on my rc8t3. I just got the 2096 pipe but at the moment i am using my old manifold from a jp2. It fits and runs ok but I'm wondering if a matching novarossi manifold would be worth the money. Any advice would be great.

I would say 41021 or 41001. Depending on what you want. The 41001 will be way more powerful throughout the power band. I would try the 41021. The manifold can make a bigger difference than the pipe. Neal or Monty Houston are really good with this stuff. Both have different approaches though.
