My Nova has around 17 liters and is still good, with good compression and no flame outs.

I have a BX w/ 2097. I like the power. The top and screams. Mid-range power is insane. But I'm not getting the best mileage. On at large open track I'm almost bone dry at 7 minutes 15 seconds. We have 7 minute qualifiers and the last two events I've not finished at least one of them. I'm running 7mm insert. Steel clutch, 4 shoe 6075 aluminum shoes, medium springs. I have 2 gallons on it now. Same car clutch on my B9 with a 2045 pipe got me over 8 1/2 - 9 minutes on a 5 gallon old engine.

Anyone else getting subpar mileage on a BX with the 2097 pipe?

Is there better pipes to try for mileage?
