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.

1. I guess you haven't seen this motor in action... 2. You don't go to the track much and see what the real racers are using now... 3. You don't go to any of the major races in the US or read what's winning the major races and placing the top drivers in the A-main... For the most Bang for the Buck... The JLR is must have... Not trying to blast your posts, but listen to how you sound... This motor is a Monster on the track when tuned right and matched with the right pipe and header... Either believe what the top drivers are saying, go see one in action or keep using what you're using since you think JLR translates to being slow... .02RC_Alan

I'm sorry about my last post... You were just joking about the JLR being slow...
I got it now... Good one...

I am curious to know how high above sea level you have been using your engine, AFM.
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!!

If the original can hang with any motor out how much faster is Murnans? I have two motors, but would still like the original JLR to use.

reason for edit)But if you want to play it safe, replace it every 2 gallons, specially if you have abused it.
