Thanks,

Temp depends how tight the engine is. If it's running well and smoke is puffing out of the pipe, any temp 280 and below is fine. 290+ is bad.. we generally run around 230 range depending on ambient temp it can get into the 250-260 range on a hot day. Colder day with an older engine, 200.. we run the 2013 pipe in Truggy with CK edition 5 port and 7.5 insert in the carb.
