My mod vspec I get 13 mins and I pit at 12 mins

I am a hard wide open driver and run RE11 or 053 pipes with little difference in run time and I run Byrons 30% fuel

Also you have to look at your tune. I tune my engines for the brink of destructionthey all run 230 -240 ish, I have seen guys run the same set up and get 7 mins becasue he was running fat, but thats what he felt comfortable with........ There are a bunch of varibles to getting good run time.....
Exactly, my pit man will not let me get 10 minutes on a tank because he knows i run wide open so he richens it every time i'm not looking, otherwise i would lean'er til she blew. Plus when i get too much power i do more side to side driving than running in a straight line.
