Thanks, but already done that, i personally just think it is the way it is. that is why i would like to see when the curve comes on with that guys dyno. i think we will find that the curve does not rise sharp right off throttle. but with that said, my "Argus" is screaming i am not going to worry about it to much. it works as is. what do they say if aint broke don't fix it LOL.

i really can't wait to run it at the PNB. with the way it builds to top. it is going to be interesting to see just how fare it needs to go to fully get topped out. i am allready running a 13 on my ZMXT-8 and have not found a strait yet that is long enough

This might help you guys out a little....and it might not. LOL

On top, you can get away with it on the lean side. On bottom, run it richer than you think. Mine produces a lot of smoke for the first 10 feet or less and very little smoke afterwards.
Thats what I did I fattened the bottom a little and it seemed to get better. Tomarrow Ill be out at the track most of the day should be able to get the rest of a gallon through it and tune a little more. I noticed you cant lean the tops to much either or youll get a lean bog. Pretty much flush on top maybe a hr or 2 leaner. Like I said though its still breakin in. Buy the end of tomarrow it should be just about perfect, until the next weather change LOL........

I would try Johnathan with AtoZrc.net or Carlton with RC Pro. One of them might have one or could at least get you one.

We will have the 2081s on the next shipment in a couple of weeks.
In testing, most said they couldn't tell any difference between the f0801 and the 2081, but a few thought it actually added a little more bottom end.

DJ (factory driver) said he liked the way the bottom end felt on the Argus with the f0801 because it gave it a very usuable power band. We have on going testing with these engines and pipes to offer everyone something to suit your needs. We also have found out another team driver likes the feel of the 2050 pipe.

When I spoke to him he had one in the process of being modded. He was out of town for a while so I think he is working on getting caught up.

I also got a 0801 pipe for it.
