guess you're talking bout the FEAR FARM....saw the track(just moved to phoenix from new york)....could only see it from the 101 loop because they were having a holiday light show. but, with joey c. having designed it, it's gotta be good.

Ron,

I believe I want the pipe that will allow not as much wheel spin when accelerating, but good power as well, it seems I could go with either the 2057 or 2058 so would you suggest that I go with the 2058? If I am thinking correctly the 2058 seems to will satisfy my needs and have the edge over the 2057. Amain has none of the pipes in stock but tower does.

2057 is going to have a softer bottom than the 2058, so less wheel spin and about 30 or so seconds more run time. Honestly it all depends on the track and how you drive i.e. at the Pre-Worlds we ran the 2057, at the worlds (so exactly the same track but) where the track grooved up a bit more and we could put power down without wheel spin we ran the 2058.

In regards to availability of the pipes A-main will have stock mid next week. I ran out right before the holiday shut down in Italy lol and stuff is finally starting to flow again from over there.

Thanks...My first time there. A really neat facility with some great people
running it! After I got some electrical ghosts out of the way I really enjoyed
the track...

Beautiful country and a bunch of fast racers! Hope I can make it back up there!

Had a hectic weekend of racing.... had a buddy pitting for me that got a little "screwdriver happy"... Needless to say its all over the place now... I followed the break in procedure, but what's a quick go-to setting to get me back in the ballpark? ... And where can I get some WERKS decals for my new ride?

Hi, any time that you get out of whack and want to get in the ballpark quickly just set the engine to flush on both the HS and LS, set the air gap to 0.5mm and fire it up. Warm up the engine and adjust idle using the LS (leaner=faster, richer=slower). Once you have this set put the car on the track and adjust the top end on the straight using the HS needle (so you are going to have to lean the HS.). Leaning the HS affects overall fuel delivery so it will bring up the idle, just richen the LS 1-2 hours, blip throttle, let come to idle and re-adjust if needed. Continue tuning the HS (and compensating for idle changes) until you have the top set where you like it. Do a final adjustment to the idle speed using the LS and your engine is tuned! Should take you less than 10 minutes to do!

Thanks Ron... Will do. I have to say that this thread is the sole reason I switched to WERKS ( and the engine looks sweet ), And have been praising this thread to fellow racers looking for a change... got a few newbies started in nitro recently, they too have started with WERKS! ....great job man!!!

Thanks for the kind words! Honestly though it's a two way street, I learn a lot interacting with all of you guys and it only helps me make better products!

Hey Ron, I need to pick up a new set screw for my 2013 pipe. Could you tell me what size I need?
