So with our slow FDR we were running which was a 6.9 it showed the differences of the motors a lot. And now that it has changed almost every car is faster and it is a lot more equal racing and a lot more fun. I have been racing there for 2 or more years and was thinking about quitting this class just because the motor differences were so different that it made it unfair to some racers. I am very happy with the change
They were slower because of the FDR restrictions. I STARTED at a 4.00 FDR when tuning my car and I'm still not running above 120 degrees when I temp check the motor. I can probably run 3.70 or more. But hey, you are all having fun with it and that's what matters.
