No matter what the conditions are, my clocked B5/2013 will race for 12 min without any worry of running out of fuel in my truggy. I pull off 10 min races with the clocked OS 25 regularly. My RB is between the 2.

9886/41021 works best for me. This engine has a never ending topend so i found the short dbl bend like what's on the ofna 086 softens the bottom too much.

This question is for you guys that have a CRE bonito or P5, what plug do you prefer running the werks #6 or the nova C6TGC?

I like the Werks plugs. They last just as long if not longer than the Nova. They work awesome and its almost 2 for 1 in the pricing category. I use the 5 in the winter cold months and the 6 in the warmer months.

I know both plugs are medium plugs but I think I heard someone say that one is a little bit hotter then the other, do you know which of the 2 is hotter? I know this is gonna sound crazy but with the werks plug I can not get a steady idle in either engine. I can put the nova plug in and have no problems at all getting a good steady idle. I'm not saying the werks plugs are not good plugs but for some reason I can't get a good tune with them. I'm sure my needle settings are off a little bit.

Nova is hotter...and you do tend to run your engines quite rich ! so hotter plug may make it easier to find sweet spot for ya

That makes sense. These things just have so much damn power I'm afraid I'm gonna blow one up. Lol, today I was practicing tunning on my P5 and and I thought it was screaming so I bring it to do a quick check on the temp and it temped at 200, I was like what the hell. I thought for sure it would be around 250-260 by the way it was running. So I guess I can turn it to the right a few more hours. Lol

Jay, we hear that comment oh so often !!! LOL
It gets very difficult to tell one Clocked engine from another at times because of that unique howl they have.

Jaz240 03-21-2012 07:20 PM

Jay, try the Werks 5 then. May be just the ticket for you

Same goes for me, Its easy if people are not coming over after a run asking what the hell your running then you have not leaned the engine enough to be driving it lmao

Werks 5 or 6 here just depends on my mood I guess but both plugs seem to run great in the CRE Nova engines.

J.Sears 03-21-2012 08:37 PM

Well I guess my tunning ability just sucks then. Lol
