I chose the OS plug based on having them locally. I have heard the Voodoo #5 last a long time in these engines. My OS P3 plug has lasted well too. Used the same plug from break in and for two race weekends. I did replace it this past weekend but that plug had almost a gallon on it.

I am going to try a Voodoo #5 soon as I have heard such good things.

With this engine I wanted to try a little bit colder plug like OS P6. What do you guys reckon?

geez, no response from the experts yet? Try the odonnell 97t if you can get them.

That would be a good start anyway

I agree. Ive tried the voodoos and the OS s. The Odonnell is a much better plug for this engine. Seems to be easier to tune and keep a tune. All my other buddys running them are using the Odonnells also.....

Not worth the argument.....

stay away from the OFNA T series plugs. They are less than desirable with an average life span of about a quart or 2

I am not an Os plug fan but I have been told the p4 is almost as hot but the wire is thicker and will last longer.

blew my tires!
 
omg i cant wait to race this mill. break in is done and race tune is sooo close to on! i smoked my back tires already! love it!:nod: also you can run this mill with the rb 2045 pipe, although it does make it tune sensitive in my oponion.

You reset the idle gap after break in didn't you?

Can you guys give your Tune set up for 25-30% nitro? I mean HSN and LSN, how many turns out from fully in?

Thanks.

22Racer 05-10-2011 09:25 PM

A good starting point is hsn flush and lsn in 1 1/2 turns and idle gap at .7mm. You should need to lean the top some at the track from that point.

Rcrenew 05-10-2011 10:11 PM

+1 Our out here are close to that as well 11/2 in on LSN and 1 turn in on HSN from flush race tuned with 2081, Voodo #5 plug and Werks 30%. We have had great luck with the Voodo plugs so far.

Thanks,
Lance

Those setting are form flush needles turn in. I just saw you asked for how many turn out. Just wanted to clarify:)
