Picco engines use Novarossi or OS glow plugs ?
Picco engines are made in Italy. Please re-check.

Picco use Picco plugs and I experienced the plug can last for more than 3 races (Main A races). Maybe you can use Nova or other plugs if they have the same thread size, but afraid the compression at underhead will be different then cause of the clearance changed.

red dot is nice, but i prefer ninja.

but im not sure yet, cause when i ran the mr12 with the ninja pipe it was screamin fast. then i ran the red dot with the ninja, the performance was weak. then today i tried running my red dot wit the picco 2607, but there was an air leak, so i might try it next week, but so far so good the red dot is amazing, bang for your buck. but i still love my ninja.

Not sure if you read my sig but i have a RO21A. And its our money that we spend buying engines that does the R&D of all manufacturers.

Have you noticed the results of the US sedan champs last weekend?

Where was Mugen? Did the car go bad all of a sudden or do the drivers suck?

Noooo, it couldn't be the engine, or could it?

Default Red Dots Blow Chunks?

[QUOTE=wallyedmonds;3859627]i run the dam things

[COLOR="Red"]Wally my best lap times with my Red Dot are almost a half a second per lap faster than your best lap times at YOUR HOME TRACK. (courtesy of the Ontario Clubs lap times postings) Stop flaming products. Especially if you don't know what your talking about.

I would run a Picco based engine ( IDM, JL) over a Ninja anyday. As a matter of fact I do. It seems to me as well that the only fast Ninjas are the guys on the team.

Wally: I guess I am not the only one that questions the quality of the advice that you dispense.

Ive seen Ninjas blow chunk of parts. The carb of mine broke after maybe only a gallon, $130 latter, I lightly tap a board and and the exhaust exit where the header goes broke. And I wasnt running a FLS pipe. Now its just paperweight. Instead of buying a new case, i bought a new JL Reddot Evo 3.
