I've never tested the Novarossi pipes on our engines but some things that I know will work.

a) Pick up a 2057, this alone will gain about 30-45 seconds.

b) Limit the throttle opening of your servo to say 70%. You probably will not even notice a difference in performance but you will notice a difference in run time!

c) Go with a 6 or 6.5mm reducer. Each step down will add about 20 sec. or so of run time. They will only affect the top end so the results are similar to B above in that you will probably not even notice the difference.

d) Go to 25% nitro. You will have slightly less punch but gain about 15-20 seconds.

e) Go with a colder plug. This will allow you to lean the engine out more, increasing run time and also increasing power. You will however need to be a little more accurate on your tune (sweet spot is not so wide).

f) Stick on some fuel filters lol. If your track does not tech tank capacity adding a couple of fuel filters is the easiest way to gain 30+ seconds of run time.

g) Last but not least while driving concentrate on rolling on and off the throttle smoothly. Also if you are one of those drivers that are constantly blipping the throttle when going around corners, sounding like the person holding the radio is having and epileptic seizure, try to stop doing it. Every blip is wasted fuel and some of these guys probably do it 40-50 times per lap!

Give some of these a shot!
