I use the heat cycle method found at johnnycoolguy.com. This method has been good to me. The last GRP I broke in using this method lasted well into the 6.5 to 7 gal mark It was still pulling strong when I sold it.

As for the pipe, if you are running on a small, technical or med track use the 053 pipe. If the track is large or has a large straight away where you can really wind the engine up then use the 086 pipe. Best all around is the 053 pipe in my experience.
