Is it better to use the Arrow 5port sleeve or 3port sleeve?

Thanks
The 5 will have more power. The 3 should get better fuel mileage.

So With That Being Said Does That Mean The New 5 Port Does Not Get As Good Of Mileage ?

The new GTR-II Plus 5 port is getting the about same or better. Most likely because it has a LCG head, redesigned head button and DLC crank. I am not sure which gets more but the new engine definitely has more power.

Also due to popular demand, Arrow Racing has brought the 3-port GTR-21 back for those who want a smoother engine with great fuel mileage. If you miss the power band and very high top end of the old short stroke OS V-Spec, check this engine out! Now only $174.99!

See Scott, The best thing to have in this hobby is a open-mind. You can be super competitive and not have to break the bank while doing so. But then there's guys that must have those $500 engines....I just chuckle and walk away...and still have beer money in my pocket

Your Arrow ran very good today. I think 260-265 degrees is the sweet spot. I know we can get 9 1/2min out of it on our track which is very good. I want to see how that Arrow pipe compares. Well cya next Saturday bro.

Got To Run My Pipe On My 3 Port For A Few Minutes Today... Coming From A Dynamite 086 It Had A Much Stronger Bottom With More Response... Top End Was Close To The 086 And I Still Need To Do A Touch More Tuning Since Switching... Im Pretty Happy So Far And Construction Is Amazing
