The B5 2013 combo in truggy was off the hook. First time out on the track w/ it coming from the TTR 2035. I agree w/ Heidmann on excellent runtimes w/ the 2013. I was running during practice and heard the engine leaning a bit as it came towards the drivers stand. I didn't time it but it'd been a while so I assumed I was running out of gas. I pulled over and came off the drivers stand to retrieve my truggy and it was sitting there still running at a normal idle. I checked the tank and I had at least another lap. With tons of power and speed I am getting well over 10 mins.

On my buggy it was the B5 w/ 2057 and extender. I don't know what others were running, but I can tell you everytime I was on the straight, I tracked down whomever was in front of me. Throttle control was definitely needed in order to avoid overshooting the jumps. The awesome power on tap made it very easy to ensure I was lined up for jumps knowing all I had to do was squeeze the trigger to clear anything.

Before the B5's I was running a Vspec in my buggy and a Speed in my truggy. Between the B5 and Vspec there's no comparison, B5 all the way in all parts of the rpm range. Vs the Speed I'd say top end is comparable between the two, but B5 performs way better in the infield AND is better on runtime.

The scary thing about the B5 is that I know my buggy engine isn't even completely broken in yet. On the truggy I had a good tune and awesome power at Motorama and then all of a sudden I was blubbery rich again.....the engine had fully broke in. I leaned in the top to get the power back and now I had awesome power with awesome runtime.

Next time out I'll do actual timing and report back observed times.
