Just heat cycle it a bit before you lean it out. it is up to you what you do but after tons of research, I found it to be the best. Let me know how it goes, I nearly bought the black pixy, but found the Nova cheaper than the pixy and bought.

So far, Ive run approx 10-15 tanks, I ferget exactly...anyway..there is still a high amount of "pinch" with the plug out. I still have not started leaning mine out.Not many places around here clean enough to run a TC and the two tracks closest are an hour away, so I havnt put in as much time with this as I have with my 1/8 offroad.

Thanks for the reply NitroOB4You.
These must be about the tightest engines i have came across when new. I hope it goes well when it starts to free up

it is good with no shims for 30% and that to run a lower % , one would have to have the head button machined down. I can say, as for right now, it is running great. Although I have only run 8 tanks worth so far...despite beautiful weather, I have been sick all week and havn't had desire to do anything

The only way to check is to measure it.
Take out the plug and insert a piece of solder.
Turn over the motor fully so that the piston flattens the end of the solder
Measure the flat spot with a vernier or a micrometer
It should be 0.018" for 16% Fuel or 0.022 for 30% fuel.
If the head clearance is too big the motor will overheat as the fuel burning happens after the piston has gone over the top (advanced timing).

I got my motor installed on the car and it didn't even come with a glow plug so i didn't get any extra pieces. Let me know.

pixxi
I just started running this pixxi I don't know whats a good temp yet, but i was racing this weekend another guy was running a pixxi and he was very very fast he was temping at about 265F. I run 30min mains and i think thats to hot for me. That 265f was after a 15min main. I don't know about the turbo botton i'm looking for one to. Tone

I have the 3 port Pixi too. I agree the shim that comes installed is too much. Never could top out on the straight. So now I am running with out the shim with 20% and a turbo plug. The turbo button came with the engine. So I don't know where you can purchase the turbo button.
My temps are at the max of 245f at the end of a 5 minute qualifier.
