OK so one last review after the last race of 2021. I gave 721 SV one last chance on this weekends race. At first I was really skeptical of running this engine again but it was an expensive investment and I really wanted it to perform as it was advertised.

I put the stock carb back on and hit the track but this time I set the idle slightly higher and put on a brand new os p3 plug. Suprisingly with the idle slightly higher than what I would normally run with os speed or novarossi, SV performed perfectly. It is really fast and responsive.

One thing hovewer initially I ran reds 2143 with medium header then I changed the pipe to mielke efra 2041 turbo. I believe 2041 works much better but it is subjective. All in all REDS is great but you need to understand how these engines need to be tuned properly.
