d? How tight do you wrap it? I wrapped it tight, but not squeeze the filter tight, just where it is laying flat and not loose. It was also wide enough that I was able to go over the ends of the filter, and it has about 2 wraps on it.

BTW, when you get a chance, can you email me what you think for an engine would be my best bet. With me trying to push the fusion engine here, I think I should try to compete with the OS speed because the price difference is so great, and most people here don't usually run 5 ports mainly 3 and 4 port engines. I think the X3LX is what I want and at about half the price of a speed it would be a good push with the Novarossi quality I think people will jump all over it. But if the X5L is as good as you say, I personally love all the power I can get
Just one wrap with about a 3/4" overlap

Try to make like a cocoon around the filter sealed up around each end besf you can

Im pretty sure youll be happy with an X3 lightning , if you wanna try an FM version thats up to you , the X5 race is more geared towards buggy running Jerome , its a very nice engine
