Dynamite 086 for the 3 Port, I would also suggest leaving your temp gun in your tool box and tune by performance lol
+1 on the alloy shoes and 1.1 mm springs on the 7 port - perfect combo. The 7 is wicked with this set up. I have found (on our track surfaces anyway) that 1.0 mm or weaker springs on the 7 make it really boggy down low, out of the corners. The 7 needs to spool up a bit before the clutch hits - then look out Having said that, it's not a violent hook up with mega wheelspin, it just gets down and hauls butt.

Temp gun !!!! Quick, hide it before Massive comes after it with his hammer
