Large tracks may require an extra 0.10mm shim to reach higher top speed and improved fuel consumption, but this will decrease acceleration slightly.

TURBO COLD GLOW-PLUGS to use when humidity is below 70%
•P5TC hot filament
•P6TC medium filament
•P7TC cold filament

TURBO HOT GLOW-PLUGS to use when humidity is above 70%
•P5TH hot filament
•P6TH medium filament
•P7TH cold filament

The filament number will depend on the ambient temperature. Colder use hoter filament. Hotter use colder filament.

It will, and even outperform the ones you mention, and you may include JP's, Sirio's and Fantini's. At least mine does here at my track.

I am not suggesting altitude will make it a bad engine. Not at all!! I would only like to know since many places in Peru are extremely high!!

Thanks!!

Our only serious track is located in Lima (sea level), see our association's web site www.apercar.com, and after every race results of last year's there ar lost of pictures.

Thanks!
