That's interesting what you say about the 5 Port Malik. My modded 5 is very economical (certainly no more thirsty than the lightly modded 7).
I was practicing at the track today and timed a couple of tanks at race pace.
I ran out of fuel on the track at 12:15. MMods Stage 5 5 Port running 6.5 restrictor, 0801 pipe. 3 x alloy shoes with 2 x 1.1mm springs and 1 x 1mm spring. It was very cold here today, so air was dense and motor was a fraction richer than it would be on a warm day. I would think you should definitely be getting more than 8 min or so out of a 5 port, modded or stock.
