The fastest way to kill the top end is to run a small carb insert !

Haven't ran my Elite 5 yet, but I've got a p5 and x5 and the 2096/41021 combo with a 7mm venturi completely smothered the life out of both of those engines.
Went back to the 053 w/ 8mm venturi and it's a night and day difference. Even the 7.5mm insert doesn't seem to sacrifice much top end... jury's still out on the run time vs. the 8mm though.
