You get 4 tuning options for the price of less than 1 Innovative Designs venturi. Seems like it would fit.....

I dont know about the Go venturi's you would have to find out if they work with Nova carbs, if they do they will work with the OS carbs and the RB carbs

This is my fav thread. It's titled "Dont Buy A V-spec" and most of the thread is questions from v-spec owners on troubleshooting and performance upgrades. I check this thread all the time... great stuff guys

i had to &after reading through this thread... to add to this post..our tugs for C5s have maybe 75hp...there over 100,000lbs and can pull a over 700,000lb jet...but i dnt think you'll see it hit over 9mph. power it torque and horse power is a math equation.

i'm a proud owner of a near 20 gallon v spec, just resleeved it today runs great!!

Defiantly DO BUY A VSPEC. I have an OS speed and I installed an EB Mods head button, mugen 2042 pipe (this is an OS 2060 copy) and mugen L shaped header. This thing rocks. It screams like I have never seen before. Perfect combo for a truggy.

Frank the speed is not the standard V-spec..there is a reason one is $500 and one is $250, and why one lasts 4 gallons and one gets 8+

People must be doing something seriously wrong if they are only getting 4 gallons out of any engine... I've been getting no less than 10 gallons from any engine that i've owned... V-spec's take take about 1-2 gallons for the metal to metal pinch to dissappear and this is when i've found they perform the best!

If a V-spec is carefully broken in, you should get 8-10 gallons with no more than a rod and a front bearing

This is just my opinion based on my experience

Frank, i have the exact same combo. Stop giving away our secrets. My buddy has a nova 21-7fms that he thought was bad til we did some pavement drag racing today. Both trucks 8t 2.0, my speed beat the nova from bottom to top. It was no contest. Both motors tuned spot on.
