I should be getting 2 of these in the next few days and hopefully my RC8B by mid of next week or by the weekend.
I currently have the RC8T FT, but it sure could use all the updates to current model.

but I am thinking of going with the TTR EFRA 2035 pipe and header 50 bucks for the both.

I have found that the 2039 does indeed help the top end a bit. I have settled to running it at large tracks and using the 2035 at smaller and mid sized tracks.

The 2060 is a pipe that seems to work well on many engines, it would be worth trying for people who own them. I don't personally have one, I like to keep things simple and find a couple things I know I can change and stick to it, eliminating variables at the track can streamline your focus and track time. I carry the 2035 and 2039 and have found these suitable for any track I've gone to.

the 2060 pipe is a great pipe but also comes along with a nice price tag on it compared to the other pipes to , who makes the 2039 pipe ?

one pipe i know that works well is the 2072 pipe works very wicked on a OS based engine with great fuel economy and i will be interested to see if it works well on the reedy one to

An O.S. P7 should be good for this engine. I live in NY so weather is usually cold.
Mind you I am hoping to go to Motorama 2010 and race there in feb. it will prob. be 20 or less.

I think I read somewhere here that that plug should be good for cold weather.

I would just stick to a the OD97T
It has smooth idle, nice price tag and larger tune window.

Get with me on the Reedy. I have a very nice modification for it. You can see the before and after dyno results of the modification on my website if you would like to take a look.

wow, what the heck happened to the days of engines having 15 gallons on them before needing a rebuild? ONLY 3 gallons and you need new bearings?
