its in a rc8 with a 16t bell, so maybe a 17t is the way to go

its also got the new novarossi pipe

its also only getting about 7.30 runtimes, i had a speed previously and was getting near 9mins

it was reccomended to me to get a turbo head for it
It's not even broken in yet....The pipe you have might not be for top end..I have the .21-7BT and it's got a ton of top end speed and I'm getting 10+ on run time..But I have about 8 to 9 gallons on mine..plus when it's time to rebuild you can get the .21-7 sleeve and piston and it's now a 7 port..
