Looking at getting the Plus 4 team with HES mod
I drive Mugen buggy and like a nice even power delivery but not a big bottom.
What pipe and header you recommend
I used OD97T plugs in my first Plus 4
I run 25% fuel with 12% oil (10,2)
what would be a good combo and any other info about the above that you would recommend.

) 9901ss/41005 , 6-6.5mm restrictor , 30% race 3000 byrons gen 2 , if you feel you need more torque use 41021 . for you with the mugen use 41029 . just let me know what you may need

With the "HES Tuned" P5XLT, 9853SS, OS P4 glow plug, 6.5 restrictor in a RC8B stock gearing it was out of fuel on avg 10 - 10:40. TBH, I never let it run out of fuel, I just pit at those times and the tank was close to empty. Should I try a 6.0 or 5.5 restrictor next? Or leave it alone? Its still a whole lot of motor for a buggy. I want to get the hang of this 5pt, Its bad A. I dont want to have to invest in a different pipe though.
i have never once claimed OS plugs are not made with quality , that they are

nova engines come with twox.30mm aluminum shims and one .20mm copper in most all the engines now . they have been shimmed for 30% from the factory for american market on most all engines produced now .
hope this helps
alpha engines head buttons are probably machined a little different i would imagine

thankyou
so am i right in saying that a nova p4 with no shims the piston will hit the head,
and are u saying that the US nova motors come with the extrra shim installed and u dont get the exta in the box
why carnt u run 30% with .6 .7 clearance will it detonate, or u can u just carnt run the higher temps
gee the alpha must have some clearance out of the box

Congrats
On the Wins Monty. I just wanted to thank you for recommending the TKO ceramic bearings for my p5. After they broke in, a little tight at first, my engine screams. I can't believe the bearings makes so much difference in the power of an engine. Thanks again man....
