Cody King back with Reds through 2016 Worlds
Hey guys. Just checking in. Cody will be back with Reds through the Las Vegas Worlds in 2016. We are excited to continue working with Mario and Marco and keep going where we left off with the great mileage and reliability.
I will try to be more active in this thread and answer questions and such.
A question was asked about the plug for Reds engines, and by far the best and most reliable plug is the Reds #5 (T5C). This plug will work for an hour even if the engine is too hot or slightly out of tune. That's why I like it. If the engine gets hot and the main is an hour, a P3 won't last.

Hi reds user. Need some insight
I have older R5T with 2104 pipe. Running in mbx7, vp 25% fuel, 95f. I wonder if the hsn and lsn position is about the same as R5tte posted several pages back. Because mine is different, hsn is just atouch in from flush, lsn about 1,5 turn in from flush. But i got about 8,5 mins runtime so have to pit at 7. Temp at 215f.
Thanks

I used the 5tc with no problems .... Also run the p3 and run well but prefered the 5tc ... You will have more runtime, engine is more constant
#1198
there is no p3 bashing. but why would you run the p3 in such hot conditions any way? do you know that you are going agaist manufacturer recommendations (both Reds and OS) by running the p3 in such hot conditions? especially when the t5c is such a good plug in the first place?

I never got the P3 plug to work in the old V-specs either. You easely lost a minute in runtime by using P3 compared to P4 or even p5 when hotter than 26-28 degrees celsius. i usually joke araound and call the P3 the "idiot" plug. LOL :-)

I mostly use the P4 plug... consistent and not too hot.
