I can see the difference between the two at this tune, only to get better with the race tune natrually. I'm not gonna pull your chain, I have been doing the nitro scene for a whille so I can tell when a mill is in the sweet spot without a track( I tune for performance not longevity) and the GRP 6mm insert has a good gain on time over the 7mm insert. Now take to mind, I am running a 2053 pipe( known for milage, not performance) This year I am after LONG runtimes not tire shredding performance(been down that road, cost too much, that dont win races) also with this type of bottom end, thinking of going the steel flywheel route on a eight 2.o RR. The fuel savings is awesome, but if you are willing to go with the less bottom end you will not be dissapointed. I look at it like this, hey dang you cleared that tripple NICE but where you at the pits oh, well im still on the track makin laps feel me? I have no reason to believe that a Odonells 97T plug Odonells 30% race fuel and 2053 pipe coupled with a GRP 6mm insert with carefull driving should give me 12 minutes of tank time
Great thanks for the help. I need to detune the engine and go with a smaller insert. Its too powerful for my son right now and its not even race tuned yet. Also going steal flywheel. Good advice here.

Going any smaller than this just makes it a little "critical" shall we say on tune. The smaller the reducer seemingly the smaller the margin for error (between too rich and too lean) seems to be with tuning. We've ran down to 5.5mm and it can be done but as mentioned you need to be up on the tune, anything smaller than this (such as the 5mm that you were asking about) I would not even bother with.
Regarding availability of our reducers, A-main has our 6.0 and 6.5 for the new 2010 carb. Give them a few days to get them up on the site and you should be good to go.

Ron thanks. Yeh I was looking for them but couldn't find them. Is it going to be a new product for AMAIN. I will pick up the 6.0 and the 6.5 and stay away from the 5.0. Thanks for the advice. I new going to small would cause to much hassle.
Oh forgot to say he is running an 053 pipe as well. It has enough power obviously but I could use some help on run time. The 053 is burning too much fuel. He cant get near 10 min.
