Mine is in truggy. It's also CRE modded. A smaller venturi makes for a 2 stage power feeling in my book, lol. I use the RB 2045/192 on smaller/med size tracks for the throttle snap just like you're looking for. My big track pipe is a "Boss" 2083 chamber on a werks manifold since it uses a 4 spring coupler. This combo makes stellar power with very good bottom and a explosive mid/top. Not so good on smaller, slippery tracks, lol. I need to test the 9886 with 41001/41021 manifolds some more before i can comment. My motor just ate its 2nd rear bearing, but i'll have it running for next weekend and i'll run the nova pipe and give my opinion. I really like this engine. One of the things Neal does is drop the sleeve in the block to deal with its high exhaust timing in stock form. Then he re-times the intakes. Really makes it hit in the lower revs, but still hits a heluva note up top. 2083 pipe revs so hard it peeled metal off the bearing race. 2nd bearing cracked the inner bearing race, but it was a hybrid bearing somebody changed the balls to ceramic. Lesson learned.
