I know there hasn’t been much posted on here lately about the engines but just wanted to report after some testing this weekend. I still have 4 running Novas and 3 new in box along with piston, sleeve & conrod rebuilds for all; so Novas will not be dead to me anytime soon lol.

I purchased a Keep off 4 with 3 gallons on it and paired it with the Hipex L50/2135 evo 3. It ran pretty good with decent power overall but it did get a little hotter then I liked. I tried it this weekend with the 41021/2096 and 41021/086 combos. The 2096 was my favorite with great power band, runtime and temps. Feel the engine likes this combo the best in buggy.

In truggy I went with my P5XL with Hipex L50/2135 evo 2. Again I felt like it had decent power but felt like it was lacking a little. Wasn’t making the greatest runtime and also got hotter then I like. I paired it with the long header 41020 and an Ofna 086. Wow, this is what is being used in truggy. Had crazy bottom end and screamed down the straight. Was even with another truck that had mito 7 and 41021/2096 combo on straight but I definitely had more bottom end. Loving pombo and definitely recommend in truck. Also got almost 11 mins to the tank.
