The Max 2602 gave me a lot more bottom end, with a decent top end. With a much longer run time (1 minute longer at least).

I'm going to use the Max 2602.

Running NovaRossi SCT 12 Plus with 20% fuel shimmed with .3mm + .1mm = .4mm.

QUESTION: We have some pretty competitive racing here, if I run 25% or 30% would I see higher top end speeds? With 20% I can get my clutch adjusted enough that it has to much acceleration, but now I'm concerned about the top end. I will work on gearing but though it might be my 20% me vs 30% everyone else.
More nitro will give you more torque, not rpm.

You could add another 0.1mm shim for a bit more revs or just gear up a tooth on your second gear.

Stick with the 2602 pipe, it's much more consistent than the 2630
