The 9901 is supposed to be the long runtime with softer bottom type pipe. I personally like the 2096 and the 9853 pipes. I have all three and it is not always the 9901 that yeilds the longest runtime for every track for me.

Experiment. Because some pipes, you may loose a little runtime, but you may be generally faster around the track.

Ok, thanks for the input guys. I'll start out with a PLUS-4BTT and a 9901 pipe and the 41021 mainfold.

Any thoughts about vernti size? If my goal is making 10 minutes pitstops would I use a larger or smaller venturi? Or does the PLUS-4BTT have a "sweetspot-size" venturi?
