Perhaps the new car has tank that is 125cc now.

Being at exactly 125cc is REALLY important when running 5 minutes.

I had old tank in my car and could not make time at last race...beat my head against wall and tech stated it was 2-3cc under after final! My old tank was oversized and I did not want to hassle with getting to 125cc so I just ran tank that I thought was 125cc...my mistake..lesson learned...always check.

Perfect preparation prevents poor performance. Best tuning tool I found to date.
yes the 4 was slightly under but i had made up the differance with extra fuel line so i had it perfect what ever the diff from the 4 to the 5 is, just makes me a happy man now!!
