Running LRP #6 with turbo head and ending tank at 120 C which is a little hotter than I would like (yeah I know temp means nothing, but I normally like to keep my engines below 120 C). I did hear these GO engines like to run a little warmer ??
Power with turbo plug was awesome by the way. Crisper response and lots of wheel stands off the jumps My friend was running an identical truggy with a .28 (not sure of make) and we were racing each other pretty hard from a full tank. He was consistantly running out of fuel when I had a quater tank left, plus I was blitzing him for power !! He is planning to get one as soon as he can. Got to love these GO engines
hey grizz

hows the testing with the 2047 I lent you going, don't worry about the temps to much as my 7pt turbo runs at about 120-130 no problem also it maybe that your engine is still a little tight mine took about 7 ltrs to really open up
