I am not saying the plus 4 is not good in truck..but if you want just absolute power with around 9 minute run times there is no other choice. the only little glitch i have with it is clutching it.....it revs or spools up so fast that a heavy clutch is needed. for us if we did not have kyosho 1.1 springs....it would bog just a bit and was not as snappy. others may not have had this hickup, but just wanted to throw that out there.

I have seen an average of more than 9 min. Out of the fms engines .
9853SS/41005, 7mm , 3 kyosho blue shoes , 2-1.1 and 1-1.0mm springs 240 degrees and you will see what the engine can really do.
The fms does not like carbon or plastic shoes .
Use a light clutch shoe made of 6065 or the stuff that justin uses for his clutch shoes , I think its 2041 ? His com.pany is impulse rc

I run Werks race blend 30%. I like it although I don't see many guys using it. I've had good success with it. I have ran sidewinder I liked it too. Not many people mention the Toro was it a disappointment? Or do you guys find that the other engines plus4 and P5 are just more suitable for your use or driving styles?

Just got back from breaking in my N21R 3 Port. Did the heatcycle meathod (about 30min). Ran it at around 200 with the head wrapped up for 2-3min at a time, then let it cool. Anyways, Once I opened it up, It was awesome. I tried different pipe/header combos, But i'm really happy with the 9886 and Ofna Bent ] Header. It seemed to make the most power and runtime for me. I am a smooth but aggressive driver, So any kind of runtime is fin for me. Ran 3 consecutive tanks, ran out of fuel st 9:50 every time. I also tried out a Novarossi Exhaust Cooler. I was amazed at what it did for the engine. It was getting an extra minute of runtime after I put it on. It also did not bog down at all after fuel stops, Cleared out perfectly every time. I ended the day with 2 more timed runs, Ran out of fuel at 10:45 both times. I'm happy to say the least!

I run a p5xs hott mod with the 9886 with a long round header and it rips from bottom to top and temps around 180 to 190 and gets over 10 mins a tank.also a local pro helped me tune it at nitrofest/preworlds in 08 and I havnt touched the needles since and it runs perfect every time.
