If you are running 30% it is a good idea to go to a medium temp plug with the higher nitro percentage.
Great info Grizz! I apologize for misinforming folks. I didn't know Go Tech motors were shimmed for 30% out of the box. I'll pull my break-in spacer out right now and retune! (.25 6-port) Oh, I forgot, I still need a 2072 pipe. I've been distracted by my electric buggies lately...too cold and wet for nitro around here now. I can feel the good weather on it's way...nitro-time!
