I went up to the Midwest CRCRC on Thursday. The Arrow ran excellent and I was using the 2013 pipe. After trying a few different pipes, the 2013 to me was the best. Offers a totally different powerband. This track however was pretty fast and thursday night I took the engine off in favor for my Nitrotec because I'm not use to that kind of power and I was starting to over drive the car. Definately not the place or time to experiment. Now it's time to learn it.

No, just the 3-port. I would have never had the time to break in a new 5 port and get it ready. It's so cold here , I been farting snow flakes for 3 days now.

If the engine is running rich the front bearing will leak,If its tuned correctly and still leaking its time for a new bearing.front bearings are cheap and easy to replace.

I got my engine and pipe a couple of days ago. Can't wait to fire it up, it looks sweet. Has any one ran it yet that can let me know what to expect?

NEW GTR Plus

I ran the new engine and I find it more powerful and most importantly the fuel efficiency is a double ++

It comes with a Low CG heatsink sits lower....very solid.....still uses a P3 plug.....tuning for low and mid speed needle as mentioned in previous posting but HSN a lot leaner and still sounds reasonable.........

What are the needle settings? Still in break in on mine, taking it slow. When you say the HSN is a lot leaner, how much? Can you give the needle settings you are running at and what temp and millage you are getting? Thanks.

Mid - 2 turn out from flush at 2 oclock
Low - 1 turn in from flush
Top - depends on fuel,pipe,and manifold used

Thanks Gene. Motor feels real good so far and haven't turned a needle more than 1-2 hours from factory. I'm guessing this motor will like to run like the others at around 240-260. Turning it loose this weekend at the pro series.

so with the mid setting...

1. set it flush
2. richen it 2 full revolutions
3. set it at the 2 oclock position

is this correct? or do you mean 2hrs? just seems like alot of turning unless the needles are way off from the factory

It should be at 2 oclock from the factory. Just make sure it is 2 turns out from flush.
