that will be good for a medium hot/plug and 25% nitro

is this what you done befor ?
I believe grizz runs 3mm shim stack with 25% nitro. I run 3mm shim stack 30%nitro os-p3 plug. I have also used a od-77t plug[odonnell] On my ebmodded 5 port I use the 6.5 mm resticter and set epa at 65%. Still tons of power and run times hang around 12.5-13 minutes. Thats per tank using sidewinder worlds nitro. I switched to byrons gen2 prodriver and got a little bit better all around performance. I had to lean slightly and the engine seems crisper,fuel burns cleaner? Not sure how to describe it.I also use dynamite 086 pipe header combo on all 3 of my go-tecs.
