Thanx for the info. Yes the rr12l3 is grreat.!!! I have less than a gallon thru it and have not raced it yet. Waiting for spring time as I think this should be a parking lot terror. Maybe you could answer my earlier question of whether I am running the low speed too lean. I am running 30% nitro with no restrictor with an RD Logics tuned pipe (legal) with a extened OFNA muffler coypler for added torque. I have barely touched the high speed needle and only adjusted the low speed needle so I could get the engine to idle during breakin. As the engine go stronger during breakin, all I did was turn the idle down so the clutch was not engaged. The car can idle thru one tank easy IF you want to wait near 15 minutes!!! Once this engine is heated up, no flame outs and VERY easy to tune. Was VERY hard to break in though as I had to use a heat gun for at least 7 tanks!!!. After the 10 tank I can finally start it without the heat gun. Now I have not run this engine since november. Du you still think I should change the rod BEFORE i start racing this spring??
