The track was really slick and the engine to be honest was hard for me to handle. I finally decided to take it out before qualifying and go with my trusty BTT. After qualifying was over I talked to Neal and with the help of him and Trent they gave me some suggestions on what to do to dial out some of the power. Since we had a 5 minute A main practice I thought this was the perfect time to give it a go again. I opted for the same header but a 9886 pipe and steel flywheel with 4 carbon shoes and 7.5 restrictor. This made the power so much smoother but I still had enough to clear all the jumps and have some ponies down the straight. I was able to get 9th in the Amain with the P5. What is great about the engine is now I have something that can run on super high grip and let it rip and also an engine that will work when the track is slick! To top it off it will run with anything on the track at a reasonable price. Thanks guys!!
Not sure if tired but I just bought some M2C carbon like Alu shoes Franks says they wear pretty good believe he said they were good. Just a suggestion good to have in the clutch spare box. Also are you running the weights in the M2C. My plan for my P5 cre all weights M2C carbon shoes with 2 .95 two one step lower.
