Hi AFM.
Thanks a lot.
It was really "woooooooooooow" After we made first run and saw results on screen of PC, all of us (4 people) just couldn't say a word for while ( it was .95 HP on first run) then we lean engine further and it goes to .99 HP, then another hour leaner-here is "broken" line of 1.00 HP. We try lean furhter, but power start goinjg away.
About HA pipe, it made I guess somewhere in Europe. I recived that pipe from Geoff Catchpole for testing. It is pretty short pipe and looks pretty similar to Yokomo Mielke. But please remember we run banch of pipes, including RB X12, RD Logics Turbo II, Skyline VR12 and HA.
I will put them in following order from power point of view:
HA, Skyline, RB, Rd Logics.
From point of view when motors reach it max HP and torq will be as follow:
Skyline, HA, RB and Rd logics Turbo II.
Now how much difference between HA and Skyline VR12-just .05 HP which in our case was 5 %, but because Skyline is longer it reaches it max about 2000 RPM earlier. So if you ask me which pipe I prefered-answer is Skyline for short and medium tracks and for high speed long tracks HA. With Skyline pipe it will be slightly easier to tune engine (gearing and needls), but if you are very good on tunning and need 5% more power it is HA.
About sets, please contact to Edgar Milenuim-he is taking care of South and Central Americas and I am sure he will be very helpfull with that.
