1.1 clutch springs WHY??? = 1.1's are stock springs in the Ready Set Kit, When I swapped out the Kyosho motor I put new 1.1's on the nova along with blue shoes. 1.0's would compound the problem at this point would they not?

6.0 - 6.5 Venturi WHY??? = Just want decent mileage.....I would like to get 11 minutes out of a tank of fuel. Is an 11 minute run time attainable with the 7.0 Venturi?

I have read the tuning bible sticky and have attempted to obtain a "balanced" tune with a minimal idle gap. I will go back to the drawing board and re-tune. Thursday evening I felt my tune was spot on. Unfortunately Friday night racing brought quick dropping temperatures, drizzle, and rain which made tuning even more complex than normal.... But like I said the flat spot in the low end has always been a bit of a problem. As far as the back straight goes I do seem to be faster than most cars......that being said I can't say I get a burst of speed halfway down the straight.
