We still have parts available for the Matrix series.

You will not be disapointed in the R3's performance.

Hi,
I have not run the R3's yet the Matrix is plenty fast enough for me at the moment until I get the car to handle a bit better anyway.............

Jamie, I am going to purchase an S7/2045 combo this week. I run 20% Byron's fuel. My question is, do I have to take out a shim to run 20%? If so which one.

I would say leave it alone. It will run great on 20% with stock head clearance and plugs will last a long time. If you want a tiny bit more power you can pull a .1mm shim but you may have to go to a colder plug as well.

Thanks for your imput and advise wingracer. I have another question, what plug should I run? the weather here ranges from cool/dry 70's, to hot/humid 90's.

That motor is standard plug right? If so I would say start with a RB 6 for 20%. Maybe a 5 on really cool days. My buddies S3 seems to run best on the 6. I believe MC8's and whatever the medium O'donnel is work well too but I'm not up on my standard plugs anymore. I love turbo's.

How can I get more bottom end

I have a RB R3, and a titanium ninja pipe, Any other pipes that are longer or something? I love this motor, fires right up, and runs, just a little low on bottom compared to some motors
