I want to try thr 2047 but they are hard to find (cheap prize) I like to try that combo (801 header and 2047 pipe) or even better the Grenade pipe someone post that he tred it and it works awesome too. either way this motor is great loving it everytime I use it.

thanks
You are probably just getting to the point where most of the metal pinch has gone. It will be a monster now
Couple of things to tame the beast down would be clutch and gearing.
Drop down to 1.0 springs, and maybe 2 x alloy and 1 x carbon shoe to smooth the take up a little. Maybe even change one of the 1.0 springs for a .9, but you don't want the clutch to early or it will start bogging down.
If it's really out of hand, you can also get a one tooth bigger clutch bell. This will give you a little less snap on the bottom end and a little more top end.
Programing in 10 - 15 % exponential on your controllers throttle is also another way of taming things down a little.
Try the clutch set up and the exponential first. These should be enough to get things just how you want them.

The JP pipes are "sort of ok" on the GO's. They are a bit flat, and economy is not geat. I would not really recommend them for the GO's.
Get yourself either the GO 0801 or the newer GO 2072 pipe. Either of these are very well suited to the 3 and 7 Port, so you can use them on either motor with great success.
