The tune was right as i do to all of my engines, nothing different on this one.
Tried three different glow plugs to see differences on this too but not much.
Temps were at around 110-120C(230-250F) on an 85F ambient temp running 25% nitro with 10% oil fuel.
It wasn't a top of the line engine.It had good power overall but i PERSONALLY prefer more torque on low rpm than a high revving one.
That's why i want to try out the 5 port.
I've seen a dyno graph from ebmods and looks the same as the v-specs.

I finally got a chance to see the Go Tech .28 in action in a truggy on Saturday at River City raceway in Peoria, IL. http://www.rivercityraceway.org/
That motor was crisp and powerful. It really looked good out there.

I am sure you will like the 5p more then vti, its has tons of bottom end. When I was intitially testing the 5p and 7p I had a similar experience with the 7p. At that time I liked the 5p more then the 7p in buggy. But after playing around with the pipe venturi and clutch I found out that I ended up liking the 7p more in buggy, but I also race at a very large track and I ran it in a x-ray which is similar to a losi in being a little loose on power, so the softer bottom helped.
As far as the engine goes I ran a v-spec recently and It felt even softer to me than my 7port, The owner of the engine said the tune was slightly off. So I would not give up on the 7p just yet. The jp pipes have a tendancy to choke the go engines and you have to be careful that the LSN is not lean because it can lean bog easily. If you run in a more planted buggy you may just like the bottom power of a 5p. Not trying to say you had yours tuned wrong just trying to help.
The 7p is a mid range and top end engine by placing a bottom end pipe on it you are choking the engine where it makes its best power.

I was at the LHS today and the owner Dwayne gave Race Factor a call to order my motors. They are out of 5 ports 
but will have some more in stock within a week or so.
SO. I have a 7 port turbo coming my way
and a 5 port for my little bro on back order. I didn't want to get him the 7 port because I don't think he can handle the top end. WOT are his 3 favorite letters.
I also ordered him a Dynamite 5005 pipe for him and a JP3 for myself.
also bought another glow plug for my current Force POS to foul. I need the GoTech asap.

I haven't bought it yet so i'm open to all options.
The 7 port i got from a friend of mine just to test it but i can't find any 5 ports around to check them so i guess i'll have to buy it and see how it goes.

I was running the standard button head.
I intend to get the 5 port with turbo head since i prefer turbo plugs and engines in general but i'm waiting for more feedback on the differences on the two(5-7port) engines before i go for it!!!
I also want to know about the 9901 if it will work on the GO.
My brother uses it on his V-spec and gets 10min runtimes on race conditions when the JP-1 only gives him around 8mins.

Plug type
Ok, I have been reading this thread for a couple of months now and I finally pulled the trigger, I have a 5 port Turbo and a HN2047 pipe coming. WHat is the recommended turbo plug for this motor?
I am currently running a EB Mods Vspec and a JP Mods B5. I am anxious to compare the Go. If it is anywhere near the performance of my current motors I will be ecstatic. I realize my current motors are mods and the GO isnt, so I dont expect the same performance. I just want to see how close it can come for 1/2 the price.
