That is exactly how I like to drive, like to be real smooth in the tight sections. That is how my RR is. I think your explanation was exactly what I was looking for. I am running with Novarossi's, Ninja, RB's with my RR and am the same as you with them spinning alot from too much torque and pushing and I can stay in front, not a packed track either and is real loose.

The last thing I forgot to mention is that the run time is insane. I was getting 11 minutes with no insert and 13 with a 7.5mm insert on the 7port. I pushed the first pit till 10 minutes last week in the Amain, but the lean problem scared me into pitting for a splash and go at 19 minutes in. The pit man said I had plenty of fuel left to make it the entire way, but I wanted to richen up the motor a bit with a full tank. I am going to seal the backplate and carb this week and push to only 2 pits in our 30 minute main next weekend.

Hey guys, if you havew the newest batch of race 3 ports check the internals, they are revised compared to the first run, they are getting very v-specish.
nova carbs will work in the GO engines, as well as oS v spec carbs, the v spec feels more like the GO carb, the Nova feel more punchy on bottom, like the old GO carb.
My settings on my race 3 port are 1 turn in on top from flush, and at least 3 turns in on bottom, if i run 1.1 at all it's over. i use a Dynamite 086 and Tilted 30%, and 22 thous squish, and the same carb that it came with. over 6 gallons.

I believe he means the power band is getting closer to a v-spec, in other words very linear and powerful from the bottom through the top. Its a complement as many people run the v spec because of its powerful yet smooth power band.

On my engines I put the snout of the crank on the table with the exhause port facing up. Then lightly tap around the circumfrence of the flywheel to loosen it up. But don't go crazy. Just keep tapping on each side and around the flywheel till it loosens up.

I use a small pully puller from the auto parts store. I think I paid 15.00 dollars for it. It does a great job without taking a chance of doing damage to the crank, flywheel, and front bearings. Thanks for the quick reply on th glow plugs.
