Props to Monty for doing a great job on his motors, I ran the H.E.S. Toro last weekend at the Futaba challenge and it was flawless. I was running the 6.5 restrictor with an ofna 053 pipe with 30%byrons and pitting at 10 minutes during the main. Actually during practice I twice got over 12:20 out of it before I ran out of fuel and the motor absolutely screams, anyone who purchases this motor will be very pleased. I ended up finishing fourth after I bobbled in the last corner before the loop otherwise I would have finished 3rd in expert arena truck, not to bad considering I qual'd 4th but was hacked into 11th after the first lap

Monty, the FMS is on it's way to you tomorrow. I understand it's got a little more bottom than the Toro and I wondered which pipe would give it a little more grunt down low and less top as my home track doesn't have a very long straight, even with the smaller restrictor in my Toro I can't use all the top that it has.

Hey, just checked out the 21-5K on your website again and was wondering if you had it in the turbo version or if you even liked the turbo over the standard plug? I put a turbo head on my RB WS7II and it woke it up!
TIA Joe

But I was thinking that with this engine a standard plug would be better in a buggy with its more linear feel over the turbo.

OK guys, all this talk on here made me go ahead and order a 21-5K with the HES mods and R2R break-in, now just to wait on it to get here
The website suggest a 063 pipe, It looks like on here a 053 pipe is best, which one? And I have a almost new RB2045 pipe, wouldn't that work as good or better than a 053? it is the pipe of choice for 5-7 port RB's and they are Nova based engines.
