I will give credit where credit is due in saying that once this engine is up to temp and running it is stupid fast if you keep it cleared out and don't allow it to load up on the bootom.
I just went to your profile and found this post cause i almost didn't beleive i missed a support question. Again sorry!
The engines are cold blooded and typically like to run between 200* and 230*
Also yes the engine do take longer then a OS engine to warm up. I start my engine with 3 mins to go in the race b4 mine. It's not like a os where you can fire it up, clear it out, and throw it on the track. YOU HAVE TO TUNE THIS ENGINE WHEN IT'S UP TO OPERATING TEMP. (200* +) that means no box tuning during warm up.. biggest thing is having the idle set correctly at 1-1/4 turns from closed, and tuning the hsn first, then once you get the top ripping good, then you start leaning the LSN 1 click on the laser etching at a time till it makes good power and runs consistent. if you continue to struggle and would like to send the engine in for inspection we offer customer service.
