Maximo o great Nova Master,

I am running a keep off 7 in TLR 4.0 buggy. The engine has more power than the driver has skills but it is a blast. I am running 2096 with21020 header. I think the manifold is stifling the top. I am going to try the 21021 header for some improved mid to top and maybe clam the bottom slightly but I like the punch. Am I moving in right direction? Also would the 21021 improve mileage over the 21020 , right now 7-8 minutes with the orange restrictor ,7 mm I think?

Was going to run the Drake 9901 and 21020 . Buddy running this set up same engine and car and he hangs with me at beginning of back straight but by mid way passes me like I am running a Prius His mileage is down from mine though pushing it to get 7 min with same restrictor.

What restrictor, pipe and header combo would you recommend for mid to top with best mileage for Keep Off 7 ?


Just broke in the Keep Off 4 will hit track with it this weekend. I would assume a little less power with better mileage than the 7 in buggy.
What restrictor, pipe header combo would you recommend for the KO4?

Usually ran Nitrotec for few seasons in buggy with 6-7 restrictors ,RE12 pipe. Is the RE12 a 9901 knock off by TLR ?
The Nitrotec's were very smooth, good power and great mileage but I am liking a little more punch and speed on straight and to get me out of trouble when I make bad decisions or get off line and still hit the triples. My skills are improving.

I have RE12, RE11, 2013, 2058, 2060 Novarossi 2096 SS. I plan to get 9901, ss or reinforced stinger ?

Also interested in 9886 ss ? and 9853ss ? How would these work on buggy with Keep Off 4, 7, and Virtus ? What header combos?

Sorry for the novel but have been an GRP and O.S. Speed guy but I got a great deal on these new Nova's and like the quality and innovation and think I will play with these for a while. I like the 3 needle carbs on the Novarossi's it helps me tune them in a little better than the 69 2 needle. Maybe the xtra long stroke factor? Maybe next round go Mito 4, Rex or Top line

I enjoy your dyno charts. Any lay overs of Speeds / Mito's or Keep Off 4 / Mito 4 or Virtus /Speeds or Speed short stroke (JQ The Engine as I have 2 and like them) /Sq stroke / long stroke

Thanks
