When my tuned .21 GRP died I asked him the same question and he said it would work but the 053 would perform much better.

i have seen that grp system ran on other novarossi engines and it definitely did not run well , unimpressive for sure . all i can say is there is a reason i say all the things i say and recommend the things i recommend . if you wanna try what i recommend its entirely up to you guys .

happy motorin',

Got to race my Houston Tuned Novarossi 21-5K Plus yesterday and WOW!
Smooth,even power everywhere. More runtime than I have ever had and it's still fat. Had a lot of questions and complements about the new engine. Now I am one of the "Fast Guys" thanks to Monty. Finished 3rd in Expert Buggy, and would have had 2nd with a good run on our local Pro sponsered driver but had clutch problems and died, got it restarted and was running them down, wish it was a 20 min main instead of 15. Watch out next time clutch is fixed and engine will be leaner!
Oh, and Monty U DA MAN

if you like the feel of the 053 pipe just pick up novarossi part #41005 or find an ofna header and stick that on the 053mr pipe .


086hs does have more top end

I think Im ready to send in the plus4 for TKO's f/r and general service, its right around 6 gall and going strong, but I know its time for bearings and for you to spec tolerances etc........text me your addy again........If and when its needed, I will have you order new internals to bring it back to new again.
