pretty close to empty,aslong as i get brought in close to 10 i am good but i dont have much left over with 2013. I am ordered 2057 to see if i can pick up extra 30-60 seconds to have a nice cushion, i am running it in a d8 which is on the heavy side im sure in a lighter car it would even do better on fuel

My first weekend out w/ the B6 w/ 2057 and extender I got thru a 3 minute warm up and 6 minute qualifier w/o refueling. I wouldn't have made another lap, but this runtime was on a wide open track (Blue Diamond at the Sweeps Challenge) and running rich as I'd just put the first 1/2 gallon thru her. I fully expect mileage to continue to improve as I put a full race tune on her and am not running on a track where you're at WOT for 1/4 of the track!

Yeah most engines real mileage would show at the 2-3 gallon mark, well at least from my experience.
Am just wondering how much mods are in the werks b6 sleeve and crank in comparison to the sirios ?
Looks like a complete revamp.

Werks B6 with the 2013 is the way I would go. That is what I have been running in my D8 and it is super smooth and very fast. Getting 9-10 minutes of run time easily. This motor really puts the power to the ground nicely. The Werks threads for B6 and B5 are really helpful, Ron is a great guy and will help you out with any question you have.
The restrictor is a 7mm and it also comes with a Werks #5 glow plug which is really nice.

Nothing close to a re-vamp. You will find that not one of our engines are based off of any Sirio engines. You will however if you look closely find that some Sirio engines are based of off our earlier engine designs, so it's actually the opposite of what you think. Prime example would be our B6 Pro which we developed in 05 and released in 06. Slightly different versions of this are still floating around today lol.

I think the bold is a case of Iphone typing...I've had this conversation w/ Ron and I'm pretty sure it's the B7 Pro he's referring to. I'm sure he'll confirm but just in case anyone new is reading this I wanted to write and say check back to make sure. The B6 is an all new engine design that's super smooth, deceptively fast, and gets excellent run time. At the Sweeps Challenge, fast guys were talking about needing a 12min motor to get 10 min on that track and while still in breakin phase, I pulled over 9 min w/ the B6 using the 2057 pipe and the extender.
