Looks like my JP has tons of compression after the WOT break-in. We ran one tank at idle and 2-4 tanks at WOT with 2-5 minute breaks in between tanks. Monitored temperature and ran 5-10 tanks with a rich settings on the track. By the time I got to the 11th tank, it was time to lean out the mixture. At first, I was skeptical, but after he explained everything, I totally understood what was going on. I asked afew people I know and they said they do it all the time without any worries about the thier race motors. As for RB motors not being cheap, their priced fair. So are the JP FX motors . Thankyou everybody for you input and hopefully I see some of you at the 1/8th scale on-road nationals in July. Goodluck.
