I agree. I run the 5 port in my 8B with a 13t bell and I've been doing everything I can to tame the bottom end for the loose outdoor season dirt. The Werks clutch with carbon shoes and the softest spring along with a 7mm restrictor has taken care of it while getting me 8:10 mins.
I'm anxious to get the 7port for the buggy.
