The track is tight, jumps w/little run up, and not really any straights to let the motor stretch out. I know the 5-ports are very strong on the bottom, but I see most folks putting on torque pipes for their Novas, and GRP's (that's what is popular here, not many go's) and wondered if I should be running a torque pipe also or stick w/the 086.
What do ya think??
If their modded motors from MMods you will have more bottom end than you know what to do with
The 086 suits the 5 Port very well, giving great bottom end and reasonable top as well. If you were looking for another pipe I would get the GO FEMCA 0801, which also complements the 5 Port well.
I run a modded 5 Port with 0801 in my buggy. We have some tight sections on our track with jumps just out of corners etc and the 5 Port with this pipe handles it with ease, and thats running a 6.5 restrictor and softer clutch to calm it down a little.
You might like to run the 086 in the buggy and the 0801 in the truggy. The pipes are similar, but I think they would be better suited in this configuration going on previous experiance.
Enjoy those motors - you will be very pleased with Mark's work.
